Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at FIRREO?
Ramiro J. Atucha, the firm's founder, serves as Chief Investment Officer and directs all investment decisions. Gonzalo A. Atucha holds the role of Vice Chairman. The firm's leadership structure centralizes credit approval and portfolio construction under the founding team.
How does FIRREO source its deals?
FIRREO originates loans and equity investments directly through relationships with regional developers, property owners, and operating partners. The firm does not rely on intermediary-driven or broadly marketed auction processes, focusing instead on privately negotiated transactions where its structuring expertise adds value.
What types of real estate investments does FIRREO make?
The firm invests across the commercial real estate capital stack, originating bridge loans, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, and joint-venture equity. Its portfolio targets value-add and transitional properties, including multifamily, office, industrial, and mixed-use assets, primarily in major U.S. metropolitan areas and select Latin American markets.
Does FIRREO invest in development projects?
FIRREO focuses on existing income-producing properties undergoing transition or repositioning, not ground-up speculative development. The firm's underwriting prioritizes current cash flow and near-term value-creation plans, which inherently limits exposure to construction and entitlement risk.
What is FIRREO's geographic focus?
FIRREO invests across the United States, with an emphasis on major metropolitan areas, and has originated transactions in select Latin American markets. This cross-border capability reflects the firm's founding relationships and distinguishes it from US-only real estate debt managers.
