“We are deeply thankful to our many longtime investors that committed to Fund IV and pleased to expand our investor base with a select number of new key relationships,” said Marcus Partners chief operating officer & head of capital Patrick Sousa. “This is strong recognition of our differentiated value proposition and commitment to generating strong returns for investors.”
The firm is active in three primary metro markets – Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. In recent years, Marcus Partners has particularly focused its value-add strategy on industrial, multifamily and life science investments, while simultaneously possessing the ability to invest across additional property types.
