Pangea LLC Announces Strategic Focus on Affordable Real Estate Investments in Virginia’s Tidewater Region


Chesapeake, VA — October 22, 2025


Pangea LLC today announced a sharpened strategic focus on affordable real estate investment and family housing development throughout Virginia’s Tidewater area, reaffirming its commitment to community-centered growth and long-term sustainability.


Co-founders Donald "DJ" Mitchell Jr., Ph.D., and Christic Prout emphasized that this refined direction reflects Pangea’s mission to close the gap between investment opportunity and housing accessibility. The company’s functional-level strategy will center on acquiring, revitalizing, and managing properties that provide working families with stable, affordable homes in communities poised for economic and cultural renewal.


“Affordable housing isn’t just a social good—it’s a sound investment in people and place,” said Dr. Mitchell. “Our goal is to help families build roots while contributing to the long-term vitality of the Tidewater region.”


“This move aligns our business operations with our values,” added Prout. “We believe sustainable real estate means investing in both properties and the people who call them home.”


Pangea’s approach integrates financial discipline with community impact, leveraging local partnerships to deliver value for investors and residents alike. The company plans to expand its property portfolio across Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach over the next few years.
