What Wedgewood Avenue does

Wedgewood Avenue is a private commercial real estate investment firm headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 2016.

Since inception, Wedgewood has developed or acquired more than $150 million in commercial real estate totaling 700,000 square feet across 16+ properties. A core specialization is the Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) program created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, through which the firm has raised over $40 million in equity from investors seeking capital gains tax deferral, with stated plans requiring an additional $40 million for future projects. Investment horizons are 10+ years to align with Opportunity Zone tax benefits, including deferred taxes through 12/31/2026, a 10–15% basis step-up for 5–7 year holds, and full appreciation abatement at 10 years.

The firm operates as a lean sponsor with 1–10 employees, a single Nashville headquarters at 2505 21st Avenue South, Suite 101, and a private investor portal on Juniper Square for LP reporting and capital raising. Distribution is relationship-driven through direct outreach to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, with no publicly disclosed management fees, promote structures, or pricing minimums. No revenue figures, management team, ownership structure, or AI/technology capabilities are disclosed in the available sources.
