The Neutral Project, e-States: Forge transformative alliance: The Edison sets the stage for sustainable real estate evolution

Milwaukee, WI – 1/26/24 

In an epoch-making collaboration, The Neutral Project, a trailblazing real estate development  firm, is joining forces with e-States, the avant-garde real estate investment platform, to redefine  conventional paradigms and spearhead sustainable innovation in the realm of real estate. This  partnership is poised to make a profound impact on communities and the environment, with a  particular focus on The Edison, an extraordinary 32-story mass timber building in downtown  Milwaukee, Wisconsin, slated to become a global beacon for sustainable construction. 

Sustainable Revolution in Real Estate 

The Neutral Project’s commitment to sustainability takes center stage as they challenge the status  quo of traditional construction methods. Recognizing the alarming environmental toll of  conventional approaches, The Neutral Project is at the forefront of leveraging carbon-neutral  materials, with a primary emphasis on mass timber. This strategic move is in alignment with  global initiatives, given that traditional construction is responsible for a staggering 36% of global  energy use and nearly 40% of CO2 emissions, as reported by the United Nations Environment  Programme. 

The Edison: A Green Oasis in the Urban Landscape 

Far beyond a towering structure, The Edison embodies a paradigm shift in green housing  standards. Integrating Passive House principles (PHIUS CORE 2021), the building embraces  ultra-energy-efficient design, promising up to an 80% reduction in energy usage compared to  standard structures. This high-end multifamily property is not just a living space but a testament  to revolutionizing construction practices. High-efficiency HVAC systems, carbon-reduction  electronic devices, and water consumption targets 50% below benchmarks of similar typology  and use underscore The Edison’s commitment to sustainable living. 

e-States Paves the Way for Democratized Investment 

At the core of this transformative collaboration is e-States, a cutting-edge real estate investment  platform led by Matthew Schneider, its visionary CEO. Matthew Schneider remarks, “This  joining of ambitious startups in Milwaukee is inspirational. With The Neutral Project leading the 

transition to sustainable construction and e-States revolutionizing ownership, the city is  witnessing the next generation of commercial real estate in the making.” 

e-States introduces an innovative capital syndicating platform that is set to democratize  alternative investment opportunities. Investors gain fractional access to pioneering projects such  as The Edison, as the platform redefines ownership structures, making them accessible to a  broader spectrum of investors. 

Nate Helbach’s Vision: A Sustainable Urban Oasis 

Nate Helbach, Founder and CEO of The Neutral Project, underscores the significance of this  collaboration, stating, “The collaboration between e-States and The Neutral Project is inspiring!  e-States’ innovative capital syndicating platform will assist in our ability to bring the sustainable  development vision of The Edison to life.” 

The Edison is not merely a structure; it is an urban oasis that intertwines nature with city life.  Garden terraces, vegetable planters, and the distinctive use of mass timber create a biophilic  atmosphere for residents.
