Cooper Street Capital
Cooper Street Capital is motivated by opportunities to develop, retrofit or repurpose existing commercial real estate. As a boutique real estate investment firm, Cooper Street Capital has the expertise to source opportunities from multiple markets and the flexibility to explore creative ways to structure and finance acquisitions that provide for sustainable and superior returns. The value to investors comes not solely in the completion of any acquisition. In the years since we began, we have come to understand how imperative it is to actively manage every asset. We believe that without strict oversight and painstaking attention to detail, no real estate asset will ever reach its full potential.
