It also maintains direct real estate assets in Greenwich, Connecticut and San Francisco. Geographic reach covers North America, Europe and Asia. Ticket sizes range from $63 million to $313 million. AUM stands at approximately $3.45 billion. The firm lists four real estate holdings and maintains relationships with Citizens Bank.
