Aker was founded on three observations:
1. The absence of top-tier multifamily operators outside of gateway cities.
2. A long-term trend of reshoring, and government investment in the innovation sector, including manufacturing, biotech, and education.
3. A systemic lifestyle shift due to hybrid work and the rise of cities that offer both urban conveniences and outdoor lifestyles.
