the resources and flexibility to pursue multiple investment strategies (e.g., debt, preferred equity, equity, with
full or partial ownership) in many property types (e.g., office, retail, industrial, multifamily, hospitality and
senior housing). Founded in 1981, the firm has delivered strong returns to its investors throughout its history by
developing and applying analytical insights to exploit structural, cyclical, and situational dislocations that create
