Delivering consistent risk-adjusted returns for investors, we work on three continents and incorporate both local knowledge and global perspective into our investment process, attracting expert talent and capturing new opportunities in alternative asset classes - a combination that is singularly distinctive for a firm like us. Our approach to real estate equity investing is guided by disruptive forces, demographic trends, market dislocations and supply/demand imbalances, enabling us to invest opportunistically across market cycles and into both traditional and niche asset classes.
Leste collaborates closely with esteemed leaders in the real estate industry who are widely recognized for their expertise. These industry leaders bring state-of-the-art management and operating teams, which, combined with our financial prowess and capabilities, empower us to construct scalable platforms aimed at delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. Our dedicated Real Estate team possesses a wealth of experience in effectively managing various asset classes, spanning from multifamily housing and single-family homes designed for rental purposes to healthcare real estate, hospitality, and industrial properties.
Leste specializes in originating and acquiring loans that are backed by real estate assets across a diverse range of property types. Our platform employs a meticulous and value-focused approach to credit investing, further strengthened by the incorporation of collateral protection and innovative structuring techniques. This combination allows us to ensure a robust risk management framework while maximizing the potential value of these investments.
In 2024, Leste launched Leste Net Lease Capital (“LNL Capital”) which originated from a strategic agreement with a global alternative investment manager, boasting an Asset Under Management of $400 billion. This collaboration was initially established to channel investments specifically into the Triple Net Lease credit space for this manager. Over time, LNL Capital has evolved into an autonomous entity, broadening its scope to welcome investments from external partners.
In a strategic collaboration, Leste Group and Opportunity have joined forces to establish LORE Development Group. This partnership is dedicated to seizing development opportunities within the United States. By leveraging our combined expertise and resources, we aim to capitalize on emerging market trends and create innovative projects that contribute to economic growth and community development. LORE Development Group is well-positioned to navigate the complexities of the real estate development landscape and deliver high-quality, impactful developments that meet the evolving needs of the market.
