*Originally founded in NJ as WTC Investments in 1991, this real estate investment company is involved in the post-Katrina redevelopment of the Mississippi Gulf Coast by providing affordable rental housing for working class families and section #8 candidates. As of December 15, 2008 SEG has 17 rental units in the following cities - St. Martin, Pascagoula, and Moss Point. Currently we are re-evaluating the proposed planning and development of Shiloh Square in lieu of the Jackson County Planning Board's denial of our "special exception" request. We are now exploring if the original projected ROI is achievable under the existing R1 (single family) zoning conditions through an expanded timeframe of 8 years. One of our goals still remains to build the first "green community" housing development in Ocean Springs, MS.Needless to say, this "bump in the road" has heighted Shiloh Equity Group's interest in pursuing other multi-family projects along the Mississippi Gulf Coast in an effort to provide affordable housing. We are strongly considering partnering with other developers and construction companies to leverage several energy efficient and "green building" opportunities moving forward. Ultimately, Shiloh Equity Group, LLC wants to ensure tenants can transition into home ownership. We are a Christian based ministry that realizes homeownership is a stepping stone to financial security. We help to build neighborhoods and strengthen communities. Our mission is to improve the qualtiy of life for gulf coast residents one house at a time.Truly, homeownership is the cornerstone of American life and the fulfillment of the American dream.
