Our development approach

Visum’s primary markets are secondary and tertiary cities that have recorded an increase in housing demand and low vacancy rates.

Within these target cities, Visum prioritizes up-and-coming neighborhoods that have authentic, urban character and hold the potential to be a premium cultural hub of the city.

We develop a range of multifamily products, customized for each market.

The company has expertise in a wide range of typologies including student housing, market rate, affordable housing, and commercial properties.

 

Solid Track Record

  • The Vanguard

    Sold in 2022, the Vanguard is an 8-story mixed-use multifamily apartment building in Downtown Boise.

    Located at the corner of 6th & Front St, in Downtown Boise. The site is less than 150 feet away from Trader Joe’s grocery store and it is 2 blocks from 8th street where all restaurants and bars are located.

  • Breeze Apartments

    Breeze Apartments will have 77 market-rate rental units in the form of studios, one-beds, and two-beds in a gross floor area of approximately 83,160 sf (not including underground parking).

    Our goal is to contribute to increasing Ithaca’s supply of modern multifamily housing and to accommodate Tompkins County’s ongoing population growth through infill development. 

  • Lofts at 201 College

    Sold in 2021, 201 College Ave is a five-story student housing project located on the main street of Collegetown and was among the first Collegetown buildings to be approved under the neighborhood’s form-based code.

    The building showcases several unique features, including three floors of one-and two-bedroom loft apartments; private balconies overlooking downtown Ithaca, Cayuga Lake, and South Hill; in-unit laundry for all apartments; and a modern architectural design signaling a refreshing, new approach to student housing in Ithaca.

  • The Hive

    The Hive is a waterfront mixed-use development with 143 units, retail, and countless amenities.

    Located on the Cayuga Inlet within walking distance to downtown and all of Ithaca’s beloved amenities.
