Its structure includes a licensed general contractor, a licensed architecture and design studio, a self-managed property management platform, and American Housing Company, which focuses on affordable housing and LIHTC-focused development. By consolidating development, design, construction, and operations under one roof, the company aims to reduce silos, shorten delivery timelines, and optimize capital deployment. The company develops thoughtfully designed multifamily housing at attainable price points, informed by renter feedback and standardized floor plans tailored to middle-income renters. Its model covers the full lifecycle from site origination and underwriting to capitalization, construction, lease-up, and stabilization. Through American Housing Company, oWOW seeks to build a scalable affordable housing platform that uses LIHTC as a core financing mechanism to deliver housing efficiently and responsibly at scale, with a target of more than 2,000 units annually across California and beyond.
