Real Estate Investment

Prime 79

GROUP

A principal-led investment platform focused on distressed, transitional, and capital-constrained commercial real estate.

Rescue capital. Recapitalizations. Discounted acquisitions. Built for the maturity cycle reshaping commercial real estate.

Mispriced commercial real estate is the opportunity of the cycle.

A historic wave of commercial real estate debt is maturing into a market that has fundamentally repriced. Borrowers face refinance gaps. Lenders face concentration. Owners face capital calls they can't fund. The result is a multi-year window of dislocation across asset classes — and capital with the right structure and execution speed will define the next cycle of returns.

Prime 79 Group invests in that window. We provide rescue capital and recapitalization solutions to capable sponsors who need a partner. We acquire mispriced assets directly when the seller's reality has caught up with the market's. And we structure deals where in-house legal execution, deal speed, and operational diligence are the edge — not the friction.

  • $3M–$50M Equity check size for direct deals and structured rescue capital across the platform.
  • Asset Classes Multi-tenant retail, industrial, mixed-use, and select office repositioning. Selective on multifamily.
  • Geography Northeast and Southeast core. Opportunistic nationwide where the deal warrants.
  • Hold Three- to seven-year holds. Structured for clear exit paths through stabilization, refinance, or sale.
Strategies

Four ways we deploy capital and operating expertise.

Each strategy is calibrated to a specific moment in the property's lifecycle — and to the structural advantage we bring as a principal-led platform with deep legal and workout fluency.

01

Rescue Capital

Preferred equity, rescue mezzanine, and partner-buyout capital for sponsors facing maturity defaults, refinance gaps, or capital-call shortfalls. We move fast, paper deals in days, and partner with sponsors who deserve to keep their assets.

02

Direct Acquisitions

Discounted acquisitions of distressed and transitional commercial assets — from lender-driven sales, motivated sellers, and broken capital stacks. Deals where speed of execution and underwriting confidence beat headline price.

03

Special Situations

Note acquisitions, deed-in-lieu structures, joint ventures with operators, and recapitalizations that require a partner who understands both the legal architecture and the operating reality of the asset.

04

Asset & Leasing Strategy

Leasing execution and NOI optimization at our own assets and selectively for owners navigating vacancy, broken rent rolls, or transitional repositioning. Tenant mix curation, lease structuring, exclusives and use-restriction analysis, and recapture of value buried in the rent roll. The same operating muscle that underwrites our acquisitions — applied where the building needs it most.

Why principals work with us directly.

Most investment platforms run on hand-offs — between deal teams, outside counsel, and asset managers. Prime 79 Group is built differently. The principal who underwrites the deal also negotiates the documents, executes the closing, and asset-manages the recovery. That's not a slogan. That's the operating model.

Principal-Led Underwriting

Every deal is sourced, underwritten, and closed by senior principals. Sponsors talk to decision-makers, not analysts.

In-House Legal Execution

Senior attorney leadership across every deal. Faster execution, lower transaction friction, and aligned incentives from term sheet to closing.

Workout Fluency

Two decades of workout, restructuring, and enforcement experience. We've been on every side of the table — and it shows in how we structure.

Speed

LOI to close in weeks, not months. Capital that arrives when sponsors and sellers actually need it.

Discretion

We close quietly. No banker chains, no broker auctions, no information leakage. Principal-to-principal from first call to closing.

Aligned Capital

Our capital is patient where it should be and decisive where it has to be. We are partners, not counterparties.
