Minerva is a privately owned Atlanta-based development company that has a solid track record of acquiring, developing and managing a broad portfolio of real estate investments with a single objective of maximizing returns.

We commenced operation in 1981 as the U.S. real estate division of a large European financial services company. In 1993, the management team acquired the business, renamed it “Minerva”, and continued operations seamlessly with the original European clients.

Since 1981, the Minerva team has maintained a flexible management and investment philosophy, which allows us to adapt to ever changing market conditions. Through the years, this strategy has led to a balanced portfolio with steady income-producing assets matched with opportunistic investments.

Additionally, our in-depth local market knowledge gives us a distinct advantage in making investments, which are often counter-cyclical to market pressures.

With our asset management team, we have built a solid reputation based on quality, integrity and professionalism. This allows us to maintain strong and long-term relationships with our core client group, managing over $600 million of real estate assets.

We take great pride in our extensive list of long-standing relationships in all areas of our business, including our investors, lending institutions, development partners, home builder partners, local governments, property management companies, legal and accounting firms, engineering consultants, and construction contractors.
