What We're Doing

Right now, BlackWhale is actively leading and funding projects in the Loma Vista area that include:

🏚️ Housing Restoration

We are acquiring distressed and vacant properties and returning them to the market as safe, affordable homes. Many of these houses have been sitting empty for years. Our team handles everything in-house — from acquisition and rehab to resale or rental — ensuring quality control and long-term value.

🏗️ Infill Development

In areas where homes have been demolished or lots have sat vacant for decades, we are working on design-forward infill construction — building new homes that match the character of the neighborhood while bringing modern efficiency, curb appeal, and functional layouts that today’s families actually want.

💡 Infrastructure & Public Realm

Through partnerships with city departments and local organizations, we are advocating for and supporting improvements to sidewalks, lighting, streetscapes, and green space. A block with solid homes still needs to feel connected — so we’re thinking beyond the front porch.

💼 Economic & Community Partnerships

We collaborate with local contractors, tradespeople, and small businesses to keep dollars circulating locally. We're also focused on helping residents transition from renters to owners, especially those who have historically been excluded from traditional real estate pathways.

Why Loma Vista?

Loma Vista is a historic working-class neighborhood tucked between major corridors like Blue Parkway, I-435, and Truman Road. Despite its location, it’s suffered decades of disinvestment, vacancy, and decline. But it still has what matters most: solid homes, strong families, and roots that run deep.

Our belief is simple: the people already here deserve the best version of their own neighborhood — not a version designed to push them out. That’s why LVRP is committed to preserving affordability, helping residents build equity, and treating every rehab or new build like it’s someone’s future home — because it is.

We specialize in:

• Acquiring and renovating undervalued properties

• Ethical wholesaling and deal structuring

• Owner-financing and creative disposition

• Building long-term neighborhood value, not just short-term profit

Everything we do is handled in-house — from acquisitions to construction — so we control the quality, the timeline, and the tone.

LVRP is ongoing and expanding. We are currently seeking:

• City support and investment partners for infrastructure and buildout
