Investment Approach

Sopris Real Estate is an opportunistic real estate investment firm, backed by a single-family office, focused on co-GP investments and secondaries that range from $1 million to $15 million. Leveraging our ability to provide strategic liquidity to sponsors and LPs, we seek value in overlooked and undercapitalized segments of the market and opportunities that generate asymmetric risk-return. Sopris has a 20-year history of successful real estate investments across different asset types, strategies, deal structures, and geographies. Our team includes over 20 investment professionals across five different offices, including Charleston, Miami, Denver, Dallas and Aspen. Our real estate team is comprised of professionals with over 40 years of experience coming from institutions such as BlackRock, Citigroup, Wheelock Street Capital, Goldman Sachs, and SL Green.

Investment Categories & Strategies

Sopris GP Capital Solutions

  1. Our Co-GP strategy focuses on partnering with top-tier sponsors at a pivotal stage in their growth, providing them with flexible, strategic capital to accelerate their expansion and enhance their investment capabilities.
  2. We seek sponsors who demonstrate a singular focus on an opportunistic, high-conviction strategy and possess a proven track record of execution.
  3. Sopris Real Estate contributes the majority of the GP capital required to fund a deal or portfolio, in exchange for a share of the sponsor’s promote and fee income, fostering strong alignment and shared upside.

Sopris Secondaries

  1. Sopris Secondaries is a real estate investment platform designed to provide early liquidity solutions for LPs in real estate funds and direct deals – the platform focuses on sub-$15 million positions, where illiquidity and market inefficiencies are most pronounced.
  2. We maintain an asset-class-agnostic and geographically flexible approach, enabling us to capitalize on situational illiquidity and secure positions at a compelling entry basis.
  3. Sopris Secondaries takes pride in being a trusted and high-integrity partner, offering confidentiality, certainty, and speed of execution – our goal is to establish long-term relationships with best-in-class GPs who see value in having a reliable capital partner to address LP liquidity needs.
