In early 2023, the Hugo-Stritzel Company was founded by Chris Stritzel and Anthony Hugo with the goal of redefining what’s possible in real estate development. Coming from different backgrounds, our experience allows us to collaborate with one another to create memorable products while reflecting each community we invest in.

Redefining Possible means we’ll work with all of our partners (architects, engineers, contractors, property managers, property staff, maintenance crews, city governments, and more) to innovate when it comes down to how properties are developed and owned.

We’re focused on investing in often overlooked markets across Missouri and Kansas. Within these areas, we see opportunities to invest in creating the next generation of quintessential American communities. Focusing on preserving what currently exists, and building new structures that enhance the future, we believe in transforming these secondary and tertiary markets into something that’s highly desirable and well-loved by everyone.

Right now, our initial plan involves acquiring existing multi-family buildings, properly renovating them and owning them for an extended period. This initial phase may also include acquiring smaller commercial buildings as well. In both cases, we’ll provide top-notch maintenance to our residents and tenants.

In regards to rental housing, our goal is to ensure housing is attainable to those who fall within the middle-class. We don’t foresee developing any “luxury” product for the foreseeable future.

In the future, we will offer for-sale homes at market-rate prices in their respective neighborhoods and communities. Our homes will offer buyers the finishes they’ve come to expect

We believe that the development process should be as transparent as possible. Since we’re starting out small and aim to acquire existing assets, it’s unlikely we’ll be the host of neighborhood meetings. However, if we acquire a vacant building with the intent to renovate it, we will happily engage with the neighborhood so that they get to know us.

Yes, and we’re happy to discuss more. Investors may contact Chris@HugoStritzel.co or to inquire about investing in our upcoming Investment Blocks, or being placed on a wait list.

As for targeted returns, they vary depending on the market the development is planned in. We hope to deliver a minimum 7% return on investments compounded over a set period of no more than 5 total years.

Investors of any size and background are welcome.
