Real Estate

Dancap will allocate between 15% to 25% of its overall portfolio to Real Estate investments through third party funds, co-investments, and direct investments

The Dancap Family Investment Office has a long track record of investing in real estate funds managed by third parties. Through our experience, we have developed a high degree of comfort with the long-term nature of these investments and look to our partners who’s managers can deliver superior risk adjusted net returns in all market cycles.

Our Real Estate funds focus on many strategies including: Multifamily value-add, Office space, Seniors housing, Developments, Mixed-use, and Hospitality. Generally speaking, we don’t invest in first or second time funds and wait until there is a verifiable track record with a history of exited investments.

Dancap seeks to invest with a management team that have worked together, who have demonstrated a consistent track record of success that is reflected in their ability to acquire, manage and exit investments as evidenced in prior fund portfolios. Dancap expects to pay market competitive management fees as well we expect complete transparent information such that we can conduct our comprehensive due diligence. Once invested, we also expect access to on-going information from the fund managers we are invested in through regular (minimum quarterly) reporting and calls with managers as required.
