🏗️ F.W. Webb's $29M Growth Plan Hits Long Island

F.W. Webb just made a big splash in Central Islip! The company bought a huge 143,493-square-foot building for $29 million, doubling their space on Long Island. The building, which used to belong to Lindenmeyr Munroe, had been sitting empty for a while.

The company sells plumbing, heating, and cooling supplies, and this new space will help them serve Long Island customers better. They're putting a lot of work into making the building just right for their needs.

Keep This Stock Ticker on Your Watchlist

They’re a private company, but Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker “$PCSO.”

No surprise the same firms that backed Uber, eBay, and Venmo already invested in Pacaso. What is unique is Pacaso is giving the same opportunity to everyday investors. And 10,000+ people have already joined them.

Created a former Zillow exec who sold his first venture for $120M, Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home industry.

They’ve generated $1B+ worth of luxury home transactions across 2,000+ owners. That’s good for more than $110M in gross profit since inception, including 41% YoY growth last year alone.

And you can join them today for just $2.90/share. But don’t wait too long. Invest in Pacaso before the opportunity ends September 18.
