Jamestown

Investment decisions are led by senior leadership under CEO Matt Bronfman and President Michael Phillips, with founder Christoph Kahl remaining Chairman. The firm's investment committee reviews all acquisitions and dispositions across North American and European markets. Jamestown operates with a vertically integrated structure, meaning in-house teams handle acquisitions, asset management, design, leasing, and property management.

Jamestown sources deals through long-standing relationships with property owners, brokers, and developers in its target gateway cities. The firm's European capital relationships, particularly its German investor network, provide early visibility into off-market transactions and recapitalization needs. Jamestown also originates deals through its regional offices in New York, San Francisco, Berlin, and Amsterdam, giving it local-market intelligence in the cities where it concentrates capital.

Jamestown targets existing income-producing properties that can be repositioned through capital improvements, rebranding, and active management. The firm focuses on large-scale office, retail, and mixed-use assets in gateway cities, often acquiring underperforming or undermanaged landmarks. Asset profiles include historic waterfront complexes, transit-oriented urban office buildings, and repurposed industrial campuses. Jamestown does not invest in ground-up residential subdivisions or speculative suburban development.

Jamestown avoids secondary and tertiary markets without gateway-city characteristics, focusing instead on supply-constrained urban locations in North America, Europe, and select South American cities. The firm does not invest in single-family rental housing, data centers, self-storage, or hospitality as standalone asset classes. Within office, Jamestown has concentrated on creative and mixed-use properties rather than traditional suburban office parks.
