NEW YORK CITY—Alchemy Properties, a local real estate development and investment firm led by president Kenneth Horn, principal Joel Breitkopf and partner Alex Saltzman, has announced a new joint venture platform with ABR Partners. Brian Ray, founder of ABR Partners, will oversee the venture—named Alchemy-ABR Investment Partners—as managing partner.

Alchemy-ABR will focus on acquiring and redeveloping unique value-add assets, as well as cash-flowing investment opportunities in the New York metropolitan region and other select markets. The platform will target office, multifamily, retail and industrial properties in partnership with strategic institutional partners, private investors and families. The venture will be an extension of the Alchemy Properties' brand but will remain separate from Alchemy's luxury condominium development concentration.

“This venture is a further realization of our strategic vision to diversify our broader platform, as it incorporates our disciplined development and team-oriented approach to both repositioning and rebranding existing buildings, coupled with what we feel will be prudent financial investments with significant upside for ourselves and our partners,” explains Breitkopf.

“We are excited to be joining forces with Brian, a talented investor, acquisitions professional, operator and developer," he continues. We feel that our combined brands, longstanding relationships and collective reputations within the marketplace will lead to some very creative and interesting opportunities together.”
