Great Plains Opportunity Zone Fund II

The Great Plains Opportunity Zone Fund II (GPOZII) is sponsored by Kilbourne, LLC and is dedicated to Opportunity Zone eligible real estate development primarily in downtown Fargo, North Dakota. We are raising up to $26 MM of capital for investment into two projects in an established and growing urban neighborhood with a proven market.

Vibrant neighborhoods create smart, healthy cities, and for nearly 20 years, Kilbourne Group has invested in historical redevelopment and mixed-use infill projects designed to create a vibrant 18-hour city. As downtown Fargo continues to grow, so does demand for living in this walkable, urban neighborhood. The GPOZII fund is welcoming investment into two new Opportunity Zone projects underway to meet that demand.

RiverHouse is under construction on the eastern edge of downtown, along the banks of the Red River of the North and on track to be completed by Fall 2024. Designed for those who want to be in the amenity-rich downtown energy AND surrounded by nature, residents will enjoy direct access to the water, beautiful views, and kayak storage. The 115 living units of the RiverHouse will include expansive living options with room for dining tables, more spacious bedrooms, and maximum natural light.

A new mixed-use project on NP Avenue will break ground in 2024, providing 176 living units in the heart of the design district. The project also includes a 472-stall city-owned parking ramp, and a brand-new home for the treasured Fargo Moorhead Community Theatre. Amenities for residents include a class A fitness center, a shared work-from-home conference room, an indoor heated dog run and relief area, and the convenience of an on-site micro-market.
