Audeo Partners

What Audeo Partners does

Audeo Partners is a majority woman-owned real estate development and investment firm operating in the Mid-Atlantic region, headquartered in Virginia and serving clients across Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The firm operates two service lines. Development Services provides strategic advisory and execution across multifamily, mixed-use, retail, land, and industrial properties, with engagement spanning regional owner-operators with $5B+ in assets down to individual investors seeking valuation guidance. Investment Services offers co-investment opportunities in third-party real estate transactions, targeting off-market deals with value-enhancement theses across product types including deeply affordable multifamily rental housing.

The firm is built around three named partners who collectively hold decades of senior experience at major institutional real estate firms: Madi Ford, Esq. (Managing Partner, formerly SVP and General Counsel at MidCity Development); Michael Meers (Partner, formerly senior executive at MidCity Development and Managing Director of the Southeast Region Multifamily Division at Freddie Mac, with $30B+ financed across career); and Chris Care (CFO, formerly CFO/EVP/Head of Asset Management at MidCity Development). The firm has secured zoning approvals on $1B+ of development potential, supported a $56M Tax Increment Financing bill through D.C. Council and Mayor Bowser, and executes through a co-investment model for third-party transactions.

Audeo Partners is a traditional professional services firm with no proprietary technology platform; the underlying "product" is partner-led advisory and principal investing, monetized through development advisory fees and co-investment returns. Distribution is relationship-driven and concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region, with direct outreach through named partners, off-market deal sourcing through professional networks, and brand presence via LinkedIn, Instagram, and industry associations (notably NMHC). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored per engagement, with no recurring SaaS or management-fee structure identified in the available data.
