Investment Management

Services

Family offices, lenders, and/or institutional owners hire Citrine to place capital in customized real estate opportunities as well as adeptly manage their existing real estate investment portfolios.

YOUR TRUSTED STRATEGIC PARTNER

The increase in interest rates has created extraordinary challenges in the real estate capital markets.

 

This has been compounded by a difficult operating environment, further impacting property values.

 

The industry is now navigating operating headwinds such as debt unavailability, shrunken buyer pools, labor challenges, and increasing real estate taxes and insurance costs.

 

Success in this climate demands active investment management - including focus, expertise, and nimble responsiveness.
