Rockpoint is a real estate private equity firm headquartered in Boston with additional domestic offices in San Francisco and Dallas.
We employ a fundamental value approach to investing and focus on select product types located in major markets in the United States. Our opportunistic and growth and income programs employ a consistent investment approach across distinct return profiles. We focus on acquiring assets at compelling cost bases relative to stabilized cash flows and identifying opportunities to add value at the asset level through proactive asset management and strategic property management.
Since 1994, our co-founders with others have sponsored 19 investment vehicles and their related co-investment vehicles through Rockpoint and a predecessor firm and have raised approximately $29 billion in capital commitments. As of September 30, 2022, our investment team with others has invested or committed to invest in 498 transactions with a total peak capitalization of approximately $80 billion (inclusive of fund equity, co-investor equity and debt).

Given the experience of the Rockpoint team, Rockpoint has and continues to build broad-based, substantive industry relationships with advisors, agents, operating partners, investors, lenders, and corporate/institutional owners of real estate.
Compelling Investment Opportunities
Rockpoint believes that it has a reputation for integrity, reliability, creative problem-solving and performing under limited time constraints. This reputation, combined with the continuity and longevity of its relationships, is expected to continue to generate attractive and often proprietary investment opportunities.
Investment Discipline
Rockpoint believes that it has a measured and disciplined approach to investment decision making, which takes into consideration broad macroeconomic trends in addition to market- and asset-specific factors. Rockpoint will not make an investment unless it has conviction that the investment has the potential to generate strong risk-adjusted returns.

Fundamental Value Approach
Rockpoint targets properties that offer intrinsic long-term value. Rockpoint seeks to acquire assets at attractive values relative to replacement cost and stabilized cash flow and to avoid opportunities where key value drivers are not real estate based. Rockpoint believes that its focus on value-oriented investing provides downside protection.
Disciplined Focus
Rockpoint maintains a focused yet flexible approach regarding market, property type, and capital structure, with a goal of maximizing risk-adjusted returns at the portfolio level by proactively targeting specific investment types given existing market conditions. Rockpoint targets markets that exhibit strong long-term economic drivers and favorable demand / supply dynamics, and assesses opportunities across a variety of residential and commercial real estate property types, to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Investment Thesis
Rockpoint targets real estate investments that fall into three broad categories:
Basis-driven investment opportunities. An important aspect of Rockpoint’s fundamental value investment approach is acquiring assets at attractive bases relative to replacement costs and stabilized cash flows, and with meaningful downside protection across varying market cycles.
Cash flow enhancement and value creation opportunities. Rockpoint focuses on acquiring high-quality, well-located assets with identifiable opportunities to increase cash flow and create value through active asset management and strategic property management. As part of the underwriting process, Rockpoint develops a strategic plan for each asset which generally (i) improves revenue streams through focused leasing and other initiatives; (ii) targets operating expense reductions; and (iii) implements cost-effective capital expenditure programs to upgrade or reposition underutilized assets. Rockpoint believes that its proactive approach to asset management and strategic property management provides value creation opportunities without relying on (i) robust economic growth; (ii) significant improvements in market fundamentals; or (iii) ongoing strength in the capital markets.
Inefficient Pricing. Asset-specific issues and/or short-term capital market dislocations may create situations offering attractive risk-adjusted returns, as they are often priced inefficiently. Examples may include, but are not limited to: (i) restructuring and/or recapitalizing dysfunctional or misaligned partnerships; (ii) mezzanine debt, preferred equity or other hybrid securities for high-quality real estate assets; or (iii) investing in controlling debt positions in distressed real estate or real estate companies.
