Northwind Group

Northwind Group is a Manhattan-based real estate private equity firm with over $4 billion in assets under management (AUM). The firm specializes in both debt and equity investments across various property types, including residential, commercial, and senior living healthcare properties. Northwind operates primarily in the Greater New York City metro area and other major gateway cities in the United States. The company manages commercial real estate debt funds that originate first and second position loans secured by real estate assets. These funds are designed to generate strong risk-adjusted returns while adhering to rigorous investment criteria and core values of honesty, transparency, and integrity.

Northwind's business model involves investing its own balance sheet through discretionary closed-ended managed funds. The firm makes money by earning returns on its investments and through management fees associated with its funds. Northwind serves a diverse range of clients, including institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and other entities looking for exposure to real estate assets.

The firm has been involved in notable transactions, such as the acquisition and repositioning of 100 Pearl Street, a 27-story office building in the Financial District. This project included securing long-term leases with significant tenants like NY Health and Hospital and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
