For our founder, Ed Poteat, Carthage is more than a development firm — it is a mission. Raised in affordable housing in New York City, Ed experienced firsthand the transformative power of safe, stable housing. That lived experience shaped his commitment to addressing the gaps he saw in traditional real estate development and to building housing that truly serves communities.

Today, Carthage Advisors continues that mission: creating housing that not only meets demand, but uplifts neighborhoods, strengthens families, and builds lasting value.
