What Haverkamp Group does

Haverkamp Group, Inc. is a privately held, vertically integrated Midwestern multifamily real estate developer, owner, operator, and fund sponsor headquartered at 510 S 17th St, Suite 104, Ames, Iowa. Founded circa 1994 by Brent Haverkamp (originally as Insite Development), the company has built, acquired, and managed multifamily real estate for over 30 years, growing to control more than 4,500 units across Ames, the greater Des Moines area, and Eastern Iowa, and recently expanding to Omaha, Nebraska (announced April 2026). It operates three resident-facing brands — Attivo Trail (luxury 55+ active adult communities with no buy-in fees), The Emory (market-rate multifamily), and CORE Ames / The Foundry (student housing near Iowa State University) — alongside institutional-quality operating metrics, including an ORA score of 96 on The Emory North Liberty and a 45% net IRR / 3.97x equity multiple on the sale of The Landing of Clinton.

The company's core operating model rests on a wholly owned vertical stack: Practic Design (architecture), Haverkamp Construction (general contracting), Haverkamp Properties (property management), Outdoor Escapes (landscaping), Haverkamp Farm Management (agricultural operations), and Haverkamp Investments, Inc. (a FINRA/SIPC-registered broker-dealer). This structure gives Haverkamp internal control over acquisition, design, build, lease-up, and ongoing operations, with the company's own materials citing vertical integration as critical to mitigating risk and enhancing investor returns.

Haverkamp monetizes through three principal revenue streams: (1) rental income from owned multifamily, student, and 55+ active adult properties (with Attivo Trail units achieving average rents above $2,500/month); (2) development, construction, asset-management, and carried-interest fees generated by sponsoring private placement real estate funds (e.g., the $17.9M Attivo Trail Omaha Investors Fund, $50,000 minimum, accredited investors only) distributed via Regulation D Rule 506(c); and (3) property-management fees from owned and affiliated communities. Distribution is dual-track: enterprise-style direct investor relations through events, an investor portal (Juniper Square), and content (Alongside Us series, Haverchat podcast, Inside the Investment videos) for the capital side, and on-site leasing teams plus earned media (WHO 13 Hello Iowa) for residents. No public revenue, no institutional outside ownership, and no AI/ML product capabilities are disclosed.
