21 George Investors is a family operated business founded in Lowell, MA. Named after a family office building located at 21 George St. in Lowell, MA, Matthew C. Donahue managed the office building for over a decade before selling it in 2014. Seeing the opportunity in the multifamily market created by the GFC and demographic trends, the proceeds from the sale of the struggling office building were used to pivot into multifamily real estate and found 21 George Investors. Although the property is sold, the name lives on.
Being a family owned company, 21 George Investors promotes open communication to their investors throughout all stages of the investment and asset acquisition process. We are team players that act with integrity and are committed to improving the quality of life of our investors, and the communities we invest in.
Our mission is to provide investors with high yield passive cash flow and long-term capital appreciation through analyzing, managing, and financing multifamily real estate in specific US markets with an environmental and community driven mindset.
