Cayre Equities

Cayre Equities

Cayre Equities was established in 1995 by Joseph Cayre and Kenneth Cayre. The firm oversees capital generated by the family’s earlier businesses in music, video distribution and brand licensing. It concentrates on long-term real estate ownership rather than diversified financial assets. The portfolio centers on direct real estate investments. Asset classes include high-street retail, office buildings, self-storage facilities and mixed-use developments. Confirmed holdings include 1552 Broadway, 452 Fifth Avenue, Empire Stores in Dumbo, Midtown Miami and the Treasure Island Storage Portfolio. Activity remains limited to North America with a focus on New York and select Florida and South Carolina markets. The firm uses direct acquisitions and co-investments alongside partners such as Larry Silverstein and Lloyd Goldman. Team size and total professionals remain undisclosed. Additional offices are not listed. The firm maintains the Joe and Trina Cayre Foundation as a separate philanthropic vehicle. Joseph Cayre also serves as a founder and board member of the Sephardic Community Alliance. Ownership stays within the Cayre family branches. Investment decisions route through named principals at Midtown Equities rather than external managers. This structure keeps sourcing and execution inside the family’s operating company relationships.
