Your money goes to work as soon as you invest, and you go on incredible vacations with the people you love.

Before Equity Residences, there wasn’t a way to simultaneously make a smart, low-risk investment that accredited investors could immediately enjoy with family and friends. The trade-off was cost, being tied to one location, or management headaches. Comprised of experienced finance, hospitality, and real estate professionals with a passion for structuring diversified equity investments and traveling to beautiful locations around the globe, the Equity Residences team has created a shared-ownership, luxury vacation home product engineered to be a financial investment.
