Bolster Real Estate Partners

What Bolster Real Estate Partners does

Bolster Real Estate Partners, LLC is a minority-owned real estate development firm founded in 2021 and headquartered at 2020 Howell Mill Road NW, Atlanta, Georgia. The company develops and capitalizes transformative urban infill projects across the Southeast United States, with a stated focus on mixed-income housing, transit-oriented development (TOD), and neighborhood revitalization in emerging markets. Its core offerings comprise mixed-income residential development (with phase-one units reserved for tenants earning 60% or less of Area Median Income), transit-oriented mixed-use projects delivered in partnership with agencies such as MARTA, and broader neighborhood revitalization initiatives exemplified by The Kourtney Atlanta, a multi-family mixed-use project in Atlanta.

The firm's flagship engagement is the Hollowell Innovation District at MARTA's Bankhead station, a joint venture with Peebles Corporation and Exact Capital Group selected by MARTA's board in December 2025. The project comprises two mixed-use towers of 15 and 17 stories delivering 421 apartments and over 8,000 square feet of commercial space, with phase-one construction cost estimated at approximately $81 million and $24 million in tax-exempt bond financing being pursued from Invest Atlanta. Bolster's go-to-market is partnership-mediated rather than sales-mediated: the firm competes for and executes projects through direct joint venture structures with major institutional developers, transit authorities, and municipal economic development agencies rather than through a software platform or product distribution channel. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with developer economics tied to project scope, location, and capital stack rather than disclosed unit pricing.
