Brown Oak Companies LLC is a small real estate investment firm focused on acquiring and rehabilitating neighborhood-scale, mixed-use properties in walkable communities across Pittsburgh’s North Side and adjacent boroughs including Millvale, Etna, Sharpsburg, and Bellevue.
Our mission is to preserve and strengthen traditional main streets by revitalizing buildings that combine ground-floor retail with upper-floor housing affordable to households at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).
Brown Oak takes a patient, partnership-driven approach to neighborhood investment. We anticipate acquiring one property every three years, focusing on long-term ownership and stewardship. Our target investor returns of 5–8% reflect our commitment to community value and affordability alongside responsible financial performance.
