Overview
Silver Portal Capital, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, is an investment and merchant banking boutique focused exclusively on the real estate sector. The firm provides a full complement of strategic/financial advisory and capital raising services for high-quality private platform operators, public REITs/REOCs, non-traded REITs, and significant projects. We focus on both traditional and non-traditional (core and non-core) property types, in situations that provide the potential for dynamic growth and superior risk-adjusted returns. The firm’s highly experienced partners have advised on and raised capital of more than $17 billion for the real estate industry in over 140 transactions. Advisory Services include analysis and recommendations of strategic alternatives, recapitalization/restructurings, fairness opinions and valuations, IPO listing advice, and portfolio sales. Private Capital is raised from long-standing institutional and high-net-worth relationships for multi-year, multi-asset joint venture partnerships from $50-$250 million, entity-level investments, and significant individual projects which require equity of more than $10-$15 million. Sector-Focused Growth Capital is obtained from large institutional and high-net-worth investors for companies in sectors with strong demographic fundamentals and clear growth trends, in which Silver Portal may participate as a principal. Our partners are industry veterans who have formed and led the real estate investment banking, merchant banking, and high-net-worth investor departments of multiple Wall Street firms. They form a powerful team with an unmatched combination of real estate transaction experience, industry knowledge, and investor relationships.
