REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES

RESILIENCE. PERFORMANCE. INTEGRITY.

OVERVIEW

Gelfund Real Estate Opportunities is a group of residential private equity funds.
Our team has developed expertise in the Northeast US residential real estate market, with over 50 years of collective experience and proven excellence. Our expertise includes acquisition, development, construction, property management and disposition of multifamily residential properties and high-end residential condominiums.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, we have established transparent, reliable, all in-house operations. We treat every investment with a disciplined approach and are dedicated to generating risk-adjusted returns, steady cash-on-cash distributions and providing accurate information about our assets.
Our extensive business relations in the Northeast US market with real estate brokers and financial institutions, as well as long term relations with leading decision makers, set the groundwork for value-added investments in a stable and reliable market.
Our investment methodology and debt policy are based on our vast experience and the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. While our risk management program is prepared to overcome the next real estate crisis, and maintain a strong position, we will respond swiftly to market trends.
