Blackwells

Blackwells was founded in the early 2000s by Jason Perri and is headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The firm was established to invest in real estate and infrastructure assets through a direct, hands-on approach. Wealth origin for underlying partners is not publicly disclosed. The firm pursues value-add and opportunistic strategies across commercial real estate, including office, retail, and mixed-use properties. Blackwells also participates in private credit and infrastructure investments, often structuring deals as co-investments with institutional partners. Known portfolio holdings include properties in the southeastern United States and select European markets. Geographic focus spans North America and Europe, with active deals in the UK and Spain (per public record). Blackwells maintains additional offices in Tampa, Florida, and London, UK. Total deployment and team size are not publicly disclosed. The firm operates as a direct investor rather than a fund-of-funds, and its principals have relationships with institutional allocators. No recent dated activity is available from the last 24 months. A structural differentiator is Blackwells' multi-office presence in both the US and Europe, which allows it to source off-market deals and manage local execution directly. The firm's direct investment model, without a commingled fund structure, aligns it with family-office style capital deployment.
