About Starwood Capital Group

Starwood Capital Group is a private investment firm founded in 1991, with its global headquarters in Miami Beach, Florida. Its core focus is real assets globally, and it manages a diversified portfolio across multiple sectors and investment strategies. Since its start in the early 1990s, the firm has grown into a multifaceted investment company with a long presence in international markets. It is structured to find and execute opportunities across the capital stack, using decades of experience to work through market cycles. As a 34-year-old entity, it has a considerable record of longevity and stability in private equity and real estate investing, holding to a consistent mandate of value creation in the global property sector. Target asset classes include office, retail, industrial, multi-family, and hotel properties, as well as specialized sectors such as proptech and data centers. This broad appetite gives Starwood Capital Group a geographic focus across the United States and Europe, in both primary and secondary markets. The firm carries out its strategy through a variety of vehicles, including opportunistic real estate funds and debt platforms. One notable component is the Starwood Real Estate Income Trust (SREIT), a non-listed NAV REIT built to invest in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, stabilized, income-producing real estate. Through this vehicle the firm offers a way to invest in stabilized assets that complement its more opportunistic ventures. The approach pairs deep sector expertise with a disciplined acquisition process to build a resilient global portfolio. On organizational scale, the firm employs approximately 7,000 professionals and has 19 offices across 9 countries. This infrastructure supports clients that include institutional investors such as sovereign wealth funds and insurance companies seeking exposure to global real estate markets. The firm serves these clients worldwide and uses internal expertise to manage complex assets in many jurisdictions. A strong presence in key financial hubs lets Starwood Capital Group cover the markets where it operates. The platform is defined by its reach and the size of its professional staff, which allows it to manage a vast array of real estate and infrastructure assets for its global investor base and reinforces its position as a major participant in the international investment community.
