What We Do
Bridge Investment Group ("Bridge") is a leading, vertically integrated real estate investment manager, diversified across specialized asset classes, with approximately $38.8 billion of assets under management as of March 31, 2022. Bridge combines its nationwide operating platform with dedicated teams of investment professionals focused on select U.S. real estate verticals: residential rental, office, development, logistics properties, net lease and real estate-backed credit.
Our in-depth knowledge of local markets, as well as our extensive real asset and capital markets expertise, enable us to develop prolific deal flow and to deploy active asset management and monitoring across our business lines.
Our “owner-operator” perspective can generate deep capabilities to understand assets and source less-than-fully-marketed deal flow from industry participants. We target acquisitions and loans in growth markets where we maintain a strong local operating footprint and where we believe there are more opportunities for value-add investments, which allows us to build portfolios of investments individually asset by asset and target portfolio level premiums at exit.
Our asset management strategy is specialized and focused in a way that emphasizes current income and capital appreciation while mitigating risk. By making improvements that build lasting communities, increase renter satisfaction, and ultimately bring value to investors, we seek to “create alpha” at the asset level.
