Fund History

Through two decades of turbulent markets, our five fully invested funds averaged a 1.8x gross equity multiple and a 21.5% gross property IRR.

Now on our sixth institutional investment fund, we have committed over $761 million of private and institutional capital to 39 investments, representing more than $6.4 billion of real estate.

Together, these funds have enabled the development or repositioning of 32 million square feet of office space, 8 million square feet of urban mixed-use projects, and the construction of 4,436 new residential units.
