ABOUT SANDBOX
OUR STORY
Sandbox has been building in Waterloo, Iowa since the early 2000s. Today the portfolio spans more than 1,000 apartment homes across three markets, four commercial buildings, standout homes in California, and companies we built from the ground up.
HOW WE WORK
We run what we own.
No outside managers, no handoffs. Our own teams operate every property, so the people making decisions know it best.
We play the long game.
We buy to improve and hold, and every win gets reinvested in what comes next.
We build what’s missing.
When we see a problem worth solving, we don't wait for someone else. We start a company.
Our family of companies
CVL Management

Peridot Investment Properties

MEET THE FOUNDER
ADAM CLARK
Adam Clark has been building businesses since he was 20. While working the front desk of a hotel, he launched an e-commerce venture that topped $1 million in revenue in its first year, supplying major online retailers. He put every dollar into Midwest apartments, and that decision has shaped everything since.
Over two decades, Adam turned a handful of properties into the portfolio Sandbox owns today, building the management, systems, and technology in house instead of outsourcing them. He leads Sandbox and its family of companies, including CVL Management, Peridot, and Volt Nation Labs.
