Knowledge of Multifamily Bolsters Net Lease Investors

 CHICAGO—Forming a new enterprise out of existing businesses can be a bit of a risk. There are always questions about how the various components will fit together or whether a culture clash will occur when once-separate staffs begin collaborating. But when done thoughtfully, the new organization can provide advantages, and not just ones that rely on simple size.

Capri EGM, for example, a joint venture formed in 2014 by Capri Capital Partners, LLC with Equity Global Management, brought together two Chicago-area groups working in different sectors. Capri has specialized in multifamily and multifamily mixed-use investments for decades on behalf of major institutional investors, while EGM focuses on significant net lease, sale-leaseback and build-to-suit real estate investments in office, industrial and retail properties.
