what we do

At Kaufman Capital Partners, we create value by solving complex problems and uncovering opportunities that others overlook. We understand the intricacies of the cyclical nature of the real estate development ecosystem as well as the changing demographic and demand patterns. We approach each project from a broad strategic perspective before narrowing in on the specific market and sub-market.

Before making decisions, we pause to analyze, to question, and to refine. We focus on asking the right questions, gaining multiple perspectives, and crafting clear, actionable plans that balance creativity with discipline.

Our process includes:

  • Evaluating Opportunities: We assess each investment with a macro-level view of market trends and a micro-level property-specific details.
  • Framing the Challenge: Every project begins with identifying the root issues, defining objectives, and determining the optimal path forward.
  • Collaborating Thoughtfully: We work closely with developers, investors, lenders, and local stakeholders to align interests and priorities.
  • Building the Right Teams: We assemble experienced professionals across disciplines.
  • Executing: With discipline and financial accountability.

Through this structured yet flexible approach, we transform complexity into opportunity — and ideas into lasting value.

how we invest

The principals of KCP are multi-disciplined with a wide range of “hands-on” real estate, investment and development experience. We view real estate investing in the context of the bigger “macro” picture but understand that successful execution of a real estate investment requires diligence and attention to the “micro” issues – the details. Our investors and partners benefit from our experience, our attention to detail and risk mitigation, and our alignment of interests.

Our size and flexible structure has allowed us to adapt to new strategies as market and economic cycles evolve. We invest in real estate deals in the following structures:

investment criteria

joint venture

If there is a good fit, we will work with qualified and like-minded real estate developers in our geographic areas of interest who have specific property-type expertise. Our goal is to develop long-term relationships.

property acquisition

Where it makes sense, we acquire property directly and implement the business plan without an operating partner. Oftentimes, we conceptualize the business plan, acquire the property, initiate the plan and bring in a development partner if it makes the most sense.

structured finance

On select occasions, we can provide capital in different parts of the capital stack such as Preferred Equity or participating Debt.
