“Britnie Turner founded Aerial with both a local and a global mission. Hoping to fund orphanages in impoverished areas of Africa through real estate investing, Turner bought her first house at 18 just after graduating from high school. After 3 years of failing and living in her car for several months, Britnie began rehabilitating homes in the inner city Nashville neighborhoods. She saw the immediate economic impact of those redevelopments and has since worked to scale this positive transformation. Aerial Development Group now focuses on urban revitalization throughout the Southeast. The company’s triple-bottom line approach—judging their success on their positive impact on people and the planet, while also making a profit—attracts both employees and customers who are drawn to the company’s mission of ‘Elevating People and Places.'”
