Green Canopy NODE Co-Founders Set to Launch Cambia Capital, Pioneering Sustainable Real Estate Investment Firm
After fifteen transformative years as co-founders of Green Canopy NODE, Aaron Fairchild, Andy Wolverton, and Susan Fairchild are set to embark on a new venture. Today, they announce the launch of Cambia Capital, a real estate investment firm focused on investing in resilient and sustainable real estate projects.
At Green Canopy NODE, they successfully helped build a sustainable real estate development and construction technology company, raised and managed over $100m in corporate and project related debt and equity, and successfully developed and capitalized four real estate investment funds. The co-founders' transition from Green Canopy NODE marks a methodical and designed succession following a strategic merger, a successful $13.75 million Series Seed preferred equity raise, and a $20 million institutional anchor investment into Cambia Capital’s new real estate investment fund.
"With decades of experience developing deep green, residential units, managing investments over $100 million, lending and establishing four high impact real estate funds, we are thrilled to continue the transformative journey with Cambia Capital. As Managing Members at Cambia Capital, we are excited to drive more investment into our growing pipeline of regenerative real estate projects," says Aaron Fairchild.
This transition comes at a strategic time when Green Canopy NODE is well positioned and capitalized with an institutional investment partner to achieve profitable growth and scale. Their transition underscores a strategic move to meet the demand of the institutional capital market. Aaron will remain with Green Canopy NODE as a Board Director and the Cambia Capital team will continue to manage Green Canopy NODE’s current fund, the Cedar Fund, as it winds up. The team expects to partner with Green Canopy NODE as its architect, consultant, product-provider and general contractor on their projects over the coming years.
Cambia Capital was created in response to the clarion call for delivering authentic impact. The name 'Cambia,' derived from 'cambium,' symbolizes the lifeblood of a tree. In Spanish, 'cambia' also means change. With a $20M anchor institutional investor for its next fund, the Douglas Fir Fund, Cambia Capital is positioned to be a force for positive change within the real estate investment landscape. The firm will deploy capital into sustainable real estate projects that are built beyond code, with a focus on mass timber, net-zero energy, and third-party certified green built projects.
As they begin their next journey, the co-founders express their gratitude to the team, partners, and investors who have been integral to Green Canopy NODE’s success over the years and who will naturally be part of their continued journey with Cambia Capital. They are excited about the opportunities ahead and are confident that Cambia Capital will make a lasting impact on the real estate landscape.
