Achieving Results

A particular emphasis for Banner Oak has been the formation and capitalization of real estate operating partnerships. Of significant importance is the assembly of highly capable operating teams with strong management and entrepreneurial skills focused on a specific property type in targeted markets. Once properly capitalized and in partnership with Banner Oak, these fully integrated operating companies improve their capabilities to compete successfully in their respective markets, with the objective of achieving superior risk-adjusted returns for investors.

The Banner Oak team has invested in or managed a diverse portfolio of real assets and operating companies in the US and the UK. These investments have spanned a variety of product types and strategies, including industrial, multifamily, senior housing, retail, office and mixed use, and have included both debt and equity capital structures.
