Hello All. I’m compiling a list of top the owner-operators in the country and trying to make sure I’m not missing anyone.
- Brookfield
- Greystar
- Avalon Bay
- Equity Residential
- CIM Group
- Tishman
- RXR
- Vornado
- Hines
- Oxford Properties
- Westbrook Partners
- Bridge Investment Group
If I’m missing one, let me know. This is strictly for owner/operators, not LPs like BX/SW/Carlyle. Also don’t mention owner/operators who only do transactions in primarily one city(Silverstein, BRP Companies).
Thanks for the help.
If you’re going to not include Silverstein then you should not include RXR. They are primarily NYC area.
Fair observation. However, RXR has a lot more in their portfolio and pipeline than Silverstein. I excluded Silverstein because they’re mainly just known for WTC, but RXR definitely has done way more volume and they’ve also done big projects as well.
Silverstein just did major acquisitions in LA (the very famous US Bank tower) and Seattle. And have active projects in Florida and elsewhere.
The top owner operators change on a city by city basis. To me, this seems like you listed some of the most well known names in the New York area. Yes, Bridge is out of SLC and Hines out of Texas, but what about true owner operators, like Banyan or Crocker in MIA and ATL, or L&L in NYC. The list really is a city by city thing. You really can't say here are the 10 best owner operators in the country. Look at the city you want to work in, and than create the list.
Honestly, you'll probably never know the majority of the top operators because it changes. And what is top: is it most AUM, biggest buildings, largest pipeline? Technically, Blackstone is an owner operator - they do JVs but they also wholly own some things. They are huge..
Understood
How are you defining "top"? Biggest?
Dominium, NRP, the Michaels Organization, L+M Development, Pacific Co's... a lot of the larger affordable players build or complete thousands of new units of housing every year. Can be hundreds of millions if not more in annual pipeline.
Thanks
Is an owner operator just a developer?
