Canopy Real Estate Partners acquires value add, middle market commercial real estate assets in select markets. These investments have day one cash flow and are underwritten to 15-18% IRR’s and 1.8-2.0x multiples in a 3-4 year hold period. Canopy’s acquisition strategy is to partner with younger/emerging managers who are seeking to grow their franchises. These managers have typically been syndicators and are now seeking to establish themselves as fund managers. Canopy provides these partners with capital in variety of ways including: GP capital, JV co-investment capital, and capital to monetize legacy promotes. In addition, Canopy provides intellectual capital and the resources necessary to build out institutional quality operations, compliance and reporting, in order to support the growth of our manager’s independent business. The principals have over 30 years of real estate investment experience dating back to the RTC era. They have founded, grown and sold two commercial real estate firms and have built a lending platform under a credit company umbrella (GMAC). In the process, they have transitioned their investor base from friends and family, to attracting institutional capital, including insurance companies, pension plans, large RIA’s, and endowments. The principals now seek to use this experience to work with the next generation of great real estate investors. Canopy’s mission is to identify and mentor the next generation of great real estate investors. Canopy seeks individuals and teams who have talent and desire to be institutional fund managers and are market experts and asset experts in their local market There is exceptional talent within the younger ranks of middle market syndicators, and Canopy is committed to developing this talent through partnerships and assisting them in growing their franchises, with the goal that they can ultimately raise their own institutional capital. Canopy provides an umbrella and oversight for these managers to grow and thrive as they create alpha in their select asset classes and markets, that typically outperforms the larger “bulge bracket” funds that focus on fees vs. returns.
