Grubb Ventures

Together with Grubb Ventures, we're partnering with Lavanda to power a flexible living strategy at Raleigh Iron Works. Visitors to Raleigh can now stay at Forge, our new residential building in the heart of the Raleigh Iron Works district. The flex stay option is part of our broader effort to serve a new generation of consumers who want greater flexibility in how they live, work, and travel. Staying within Raleigh Iron Works will give guests the opportunity to more seamlessly engage with the shopping, dining, and entertainment options at the campus and connect with the surrounding community while visiting Raleigh. Amenities at Forge include a clubroom with a Barcade and resident entertainment lounge, as well as a conference room that doubles as a podcast recording studio. Both residents and guests can also enjoy co-working spaces, fitness center, and saltwater pool. #CommercialRealEstate #CRE #Raleigh

Pleased to share Part 2 of 3 episodes of Icons of DC Area Real Estate #iconsdc with Brad Olsen, my 40 year mentor in the real estate business. Brad shares the story behind his founding of Atlantic Partners, his one man international advisory firm, which operated from 1995 to 2021. He then discusses his strategy of traveling to the Netherlands regularly to learn how the Dutch would like to invest in the US. He was certain that there was continued interest due to the legislation he spoke about in the last episode. He describes his innovation of a commingled fund of US and Dutch pension funds to invest in US real estate and brings Principal Asset Management into that role. Separately, he engineers international investment relationships among the following institutions and companies: USAA, Behringer Harvard, Jamestown, Grubb Ventures, Bell Partners Inc, and BNP Paribas in various structure of funds and direct investment. He also discusses a ground lease investment strategy from a German high net worth family and a value add logistics investment strategy with a German company in Germany. For this episode, here are some takeaways to consider: 1. Building a business on trust and mutual respect can lead to long-term, fruitful relationships. 2.
