About Us

Founded by 2021 NBA Champion Pat Connaughton, and Catalyst Construction CEO Matt Burow, our projects and network span the Midwest and beyond. We work with our partners to make sure that their mission and vision are reflected in each project – by matching it with our team’s passion, entrepreneurial spirit, and determination.
We have taken on projects that help our clients grow beyond their expectations, and are humbled by their outcomes. Our team is made up of seasoned experts in real estate and finance, so each client knows their needs are heard and no detail is left unturned.

A TEAM MEANT TO SERVE
IMPACT THROUGH REAL ESTATE
Three Leaf Partners develops impactful real estate projects across the Midwest by bringing professional athletes, business executives, and community leaders together through the vehicle of real estate. This collaboration drives the development of vibrant, sustainable communities that deliver long-term financial stability, positive community impact, and meaningful outcomes for everyone involved.
The firm operates at the intersection of impact, partnership, and execution, ensuring each project reflects a clear mission and long-term vision. By aligning impact with capital, Three Leaf Partners structures opportunities where investors’ returns and positive impact are both elevated, and athletes gain exposure to wealth-building strategies that extend beyond their playing careers.
Through this integrated approach, TLP funds and facilitates high-quality, multifaceted developments that generate lasting value.
