Churchill Real Estate was established by professionals with a deep knowledge of the real estate sector including operational expertise in development and property management. Prior to forming Churchill, the founding partners had completed over $5 billion of debt and equity transactions in New York City. Churchill focuses on well-located, downside protected real estate as well as transactions with risk-mitigated capital structures. Churchill has been extremely selective in the transactions pursued, evaluating numerous factors including basis, risk-return parameters, and sponsorship. Churchill invests in both equity and debt positions of a capital stack and has consummated numerous successful partnerships in New York. Given the vertically integrated nature of the firm, Churchill is able to understand all investment considerations across the life-cycle of a transaction including identifying potential opportunities, initial acquisition, re-positioning/development, to stabilization and disposition. Given Churchill’s vast experience in development and asset management, all investments are treated with a hands-on approach, with an eye towards creatively unlocking value and driving asset-level expertise. Through the principals’ proprietary relationships of owners, borrowers, borrower advisers, and lending partners and unique structuring capabilities and risk mitigation strategies, Churchill has been able to establish a strong market presence and continues to see strong deal flow across various asset classes in New York.
