Nico is a neighborhood investment company that makes it possible for people who love their neighborhood to build a long-term financial stake in their community by investing in local real estate.
We started Nico because too many people are left out of earning wealth created within their own neighborhoods. Nico changes that by radically lowering the threshold for owning an interest in local real estate.
Our mission is to localize wealth creation and broaden access to neighborhood equity. Initially, well do that with the launch of Nico Echo Parkthe worlds first Neighborhood REIT. A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a type of company that owns a portfolio of income-producing properties that people can become shareholders in. A Neighborhood REIT means all properties owned are located in a specific neighborhoodin this case, in and around Echo Park, a vibrant and dynamic neighborhood near downtown Los Angeles.
