Alpaca, an alternative investments management firm, has recently launched Alpaca Real Estate (ARE) under the leadership of co-founders Daniel Carr and Peter Weiss. The platform’s debut real estate offering is backed by capital from GCM Grosvenor on behalf of multiple investors.
Leveraging their industry expertise and strategic relationships, ARE aims to identify opportunities in the real estate market with a focus on sectors impacted by capital market disruptions. “The current reset in the real estate market presents a prime opportunity for our experienced team to establish a platform with available funds and no legacy asset management concerns,” stated Carr.
The team will concentrate on investments that require recapitalization, repositioning, strategic funding, physical transformation,and technology-driven enhancements to improve efficiency and generate additional returns. Alpaca’s goal is to combine traditional real estate returns with technology-based overlays for institutional investors seeking value-added opportunities.
