Pioneering Community-Driven Real Estate Development

In the evolving landscape of the 2020s, the challenge of housing in America extends beyond simply addressing the shortage. Rising home prices and rents across the nation underscore the urgent need for affordable living spaces. At Centra Capital Partners, our vision transcends the construction of housing units; we are committed to creating valued neighborhoods through strategic location choices, thoughtful architecture and design, diverse product mix, and the integration of community assets.

Building More Than Homes

Our mission is fueled by the recognition that people are searching for more than just a place to live. They are seeking a sense of place—a community where they can feel a sense of belonging and actively participate. In many cities, the scale of urban development has overshadowed the human aspect, leaving residents yearning for a connection and a sense of identity within their living spaces.

The Art of Neighborhood Creation

The role of city planners is critical in zoning and project approvals, but the essence of creating a community — from the urban fabric to a neighborhood with a distinct identity — largely rests on the shoulders of developers. At Centra Capital Partners, we embrace this responsibility with enthusiasm. Serving as the capital-raising arm for Centra Homes, our Minneapolis-based affiliate with a 12-year legacy of building for-sale homes and communities, we are at the forefront of designing spaces that are more than just places to live.

A Proven Track Record

Centra Homes' reputation for excellence is well-established, with accolades that include being a two-time recipient of the prestigious national Eliant Homebuyer Choice award. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to grace, amenities, and appeal in our developments. Yet, the highest praise comes from our customers, who appreciate not only the architectural and building quality of our homes but also the exceptional customer service that makes the home-buying process both simple and personalized.

All the customization options made it possible to build our house with many of the features we wanted, even as first-time buyers." - A Centra Homes Customer

At Centra Capital Partners, we believe in building not just homes, but futures—anchored in communities, designed for living.

The Foundation of Centra's Success

A Legacy Born from Resilience


The origins of Centra Homes trace back to the tumultuous period following the Global Financial Crisis of 2007. Amidst economic uncertainty, Centra emerged as a beacon of innovation and resilience, navigating through the challenges of offloaded sour loan portfolios and transforming partially-built or neglected properties into thriving communities. By 2011, Centra Homes had firmly established itself as a builder and developer committed to tackling re-development challenges head-on.

Visionary Leadership


The driving force behind Centra's ascension during those trying times is Dale Wills, the CEO and owner. With decades of experience in the homebuilding industry, Dale has steered Centra towards success by adhering to a set of core values that distinguish our operations and outcomes.
