Brian Ker is the Founder and President of Snowball Developments, which was created to aggressively pursue value-add acquisitions with a near-term focus on Tri-State industrial real estate. In particular Snowball focuses on submarkets with expanding leasing momentum and either supply erosion or restrictions on new development. Snowball believes that location and land area trumps building functionality and its highest conviction thesis is to pursue under-utilized properties with a correspondingly low land acquisition basis. Snowball plans to invest in these properties to create additional revenue streams and seek entitlement expansion for future redevelopment potential. Since its initial acquisition in Summer 2021, Snowball Developments has acquired $85M in assets with a target AUM of $200M by Year-End 2023 and has raised over $30M in external capital from a wide range of investors, including multiple family offices and institutional owners/managers. A core business development strategy is to leverage partnerships and utilize technology to facilitate rapid growth from a lean team.

Brian brings over 20 years of commercial real estate investment experience as a principal, strategic real estate advisor, capital markets specialist and government-incentives expert. Brian started his career with CBRE in Montreal Canada in 2003 and became a founding member of CBRE’s National Investment Team – Montreal.
