About MacFarlane

About MacFarlane Partners

MacFarlane Partners has provided real estate investment management services to institutional investors since 1987, building an impressive track record that spans multiple market cycles and a broad range of investment strategies, property sectors and capital structures.

For more than three decades, we have worked extensively in acquiring stabilized real estate assets, developing new projects, rehabilitating and repositioning existing properties, taking over underperforming portfolios, and managing assets to higher value.

Today, we focus on investments that promote smart growth, urban revitalization and sustainability in urban “Gateway Cities” and select high-density “Growth Cities” within the United States.

In addition to direct investments, we serve as a strategic capital partner providing real estate operators, developers, and private owners with preferred equity, mezzanine debt or JV co-investment equity to complete transactions and/or recapitalize existing assets that require more equity. We also acquire equity stakes in growth stage real estate companies active in our target markets.

Our Objective

To achieve investment success while making a positive difference in the companies and communities in which we invest.

discipline

Research-driven investment focus and rigorous investment-risk-management discipline

“The success of our urban/smart-growth program is tied to a simple concept: real estate is a use derived from the presence of people (supply) with a need (demand) and that significant investment opportunities arise when many people live within a small area. An added benefit is that these investments use resources more efficiently and transform urban and suburban communities alike by making them better places to live, work and play.”
