In a release, Fisher partner Winston Fisher calls the investment "a natural extension of our existing business strategy. By combining our expertise as a vertically-integrated real estate investment company with Modern Bank's existing lending platform, we believe we will be able to make a significant impact right away in the markets we have targeted."

Founded in 2006, Modern Bank and its sister organization, Modern Asset Management, cater to a clientele of high net worth individuals. Calling the partnership with Fisher "a further deliberate step in the measured growth and expansion of Modern Bank," CEO Jeffrey Lane says in a release that it embodies the bank's philosophy of providing high, long-term returns for its investors while identifying "innovative and cutting edge" business opportunities that enhance these returns.

Fisher was founded in 1915, and maintains a platform that spans investment and operations. The company operates a core portfolio of six million square feet of office space in New York City and Washington, DC.
