Honest Buildings, the only project management platform built for and backed by real estate owners, has closed its Series B funding round with a new group of strategic partners and additional investment, bringing the total round funding raised to $30 million. The additional investment of $5 million was led by First Capital Realty, one of Canada's largest owners, developers and managers of grocery anchored, retail-focused urban properties. The Series B funding is focused on dramatically accelerating Honest Buildings' technology and product functionality to scale its impact on progressing the urban landscape.

This new group of strategic partners joins existing Series B industry investors Brookfield Property Partners, Oxford Properties Group, The Durst Organization, DivcoWest Real Estate Investments, Rudin Ventures, C-III Capital Partners, QuadReal, and Altus Group, in addition to leading venture capital funds Thrive Capital, Navitas Capital, Greensoil Building Innovation Fund, Bienville Capital Management, Riverpark Funds, The Westly Group, Rockport Capital, and Circle Ventures.

"We are very pleased to be partnering with Honest Buildings," said Jordan Robins, Executive Vice President and COO of First Capital. "Leveraging technology platforms like Honest Buildings provides greater transparency, positioning us to create value through project cost savings and faster project delivery."

Riggs Kubiak, Co-Founder and CEO of Honest Buildings said, "We continue to believe owners take all the capital risk on projects and deserve the absolute best technology platforms purpose-built for them. It's exciting to see the impact we are having on cities all over the world as they continue to evolve and change, and are thrilled to be partnered with so many of the world's leading owners and operators who share our mission for accelerating urban progress."

Over the last two years, Honest Buildings powered a 13X increase in project volume and facilitated $13 billion in projects managed. This capital raise will allow the company to invest further in its product, engineering, design and customer success teams, with plans to double its staff in the next year.
