Bringing sustainable building technologies to the inner city.

Get familiar with our goals around solar, affordable housing and building community

548 Enterprise is aiming high with attainable stretch goals for units built, lowering carbon emissions, putting an end to sky-high utility bills for tenants, and creating the first investment fund in the country to focus on community solar and sustainable, affordable housing.

Innovative + Inclusive Solutions

The 548 family of companies offers end-to-end solutions for every step of sustainable and diverse development.

“I’ve seen the way that investments are made and I know the kind of money that is moving. If we could direct even a small percentage of money to these neighborhoods correctly and intentionally, we could shift the narrative forever.”

— A.J. Patton, CEO & Founder

Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.

548 Enterprise is the culmination of many years of first hand experience and on-the-ground work in underserved neighborhoods.
