REITs and other public companies are big spenders, but private equity remains a powerful force. (For every bank, there's a Mr. Banks.) With key private firms and high-net worth investors here in DC, and others close by in NYC, we think it's extremely timely to be holding our 2nd annual Bisnow DC Private Equity Summit tomorrow at the Mayflower.
Among speakers will be ASB Real Estate Investments CEO Robert Bellinger. "Private" doesn't necessarily mean small—quietly but shrewdly, ASB has built a $5B portfolio of marquee properties around the country.
Down from New York, ALTO Real Estate Funds' Peter Auerbach (left) will also be speaking. Other heavy hitters of the private equity join them, such as senior folks from Blackstone, JBG, Federal Capital Partners, Fundrise, Walker & Dunlop, Meridian Group, Northstar, Arent Fox, and Ballard Spahr.
And EagleBank CEO Ron Paul will speak, not just because of the major real estate portfolio he oversees at the bank—he's also a substantial private investor himself, with a roster of properties across asset classes. Click here for more info or to sign up for tomorrow's premium event.
