Our Mission
Successful commercial real estate investing depends on thorough analysis, not whimsical prediction. CrossHarbor believes good fortune in investing is the product of good thinking. The firm’s goal is to apply disciplined bottom-up analytical procedures, sophisticated legal and financial structures, and proactive asset management to transactions that possess a value-oriented investment thesis.
For nearly three decades, CrossHarbor has been a national leader in the commercial real estate private equity industry. The firm combines a vast origination platform, a disciplined investment strategy, and highly experienced professionals to generate risk-adjusted investment returns that rank CrossHarbor among the top performers within its field.
Ways We Invest
CrossHarbor’s investments are structured in numerous capital forms including equity, preferred equity, mezzanine loans, and senior loans. CrossHarbor determines its capital structure for a particular transaction on the merits of investment basis, capital preservation, and risk-adjusted return.
- Joint Venture & Direct Equity
- Mezzanine Debt & Preferred Equity
- Senior Loans
CrossHarbor invests substantial equity capital in collaboration with experienced third-party JV sponsors as well as on a direct basis without outside operators. Short and medium duration transactions with compelling IRRs and absolute returns are sourced for CrossHarbor’s closed-end Value Add/Opportunity Funds. Longer dated equity investments with core and core-plus risk/return profiles are sourced for the firm’s Separately Managed Accounts and its Build-to-Core Multifamily program.
Sophisticated property owners often seek CrossHarbor’s expertise as a “gap” financing source. Working on a tri-party basis alongside experienced owners and their senior lenders, the firm provides mezzanine loan and preferred equity solutions that prudently leverage a property beyond the customary thresholds of commercial banks and life insurance companies. These financings are high yield in nature, flexibly structured with accrual or equity participation features, and funded by CrossHarbor’s closed-end Value Add/Opportunity Funds.
CrossHarbor is an active lender to astute owners of core, core-plus, and transitional properties located in primary and secondary U.S. markets. The firm’s loans are short-duration (18-60 months), floating-rate, and flexibly structured to facilitate the collateral’s underlying business plan. Moderate yield loans supported by stabilized, near stabilized and light transitional properties are funded by CrossHarbor’s open-end Senior Debt Income Fund. High yield loans collateralized by properties undergoing significant development, re-positioning, or with similar risk profiles are funded by CrossHarbor’s closed-end Value Add/Opportunity Funds.
Eligible Properties
CrossHarbor’s singular focus is preserving capital while maximizing returns and minimizing risk.
CrossHarbor invests in single property transactions, multiple property portfolios, and real estate-related operating companies. The firm acquires and operates properties for its own account and actively invests in transactions with joint venture operating partners and third party borrowers.
All major commercial real estate asset classes located throughout the United States are eligible for investment consideration including office, warehouse/industrial, retail, apartments, hotel/resort, land, for-sale residential, and mixed-use properties.
