About Us

Who We Are

Our journey at Poverni Sheikh Group began in Baltimore in 2012, founded by a collective of private equity, real estate law & finance, and construction professionals. Over the years, we’ve remained committed to a high standard of excellence underpinned by transparency, reliability, and dedicated service for everyone we engage with. Our journey has evolved since inception and now spans four core verticals: Real Estate Credit, Ground-up Development, Self-Storage Acquisitions, and Private Equity—championed through our affiliate, Lapa Capital. We’re dedicated to shaping a future where trust and excellence define every interaction, empowering our stakeholders and communities alike.
