Liberty Group (Shah Family Office)
Liberty Group was established in 1980 by Raxit Shah after building a portfolio of hotel properties. The firm remains under family control with Punit Shah serving as CEO. Wealth originated in hospitality and continues to shape allocation decisions. The office deploys capital across real estate, private equity and operating businesses. It executes direct co-investments and SPVs rather than broad fund commitments. Confirmed holdings include multiple Hampton Inn, Aloft and Home2 Suites properties in Florida. Activity centers on North America with a concentration in the southeastern United States. The firm maintains a lean internal team and lists no additional offices beyond Tampa. Punit Shah participates in YPO and previously served on the IHG Owners Association Global Board. The Punit Shah Family Foundation handles separate philanthropic activity. No operational changes were recorded in the last 24 months. Liberty Group retains direct ownership of hotel assets and related operating companies. This structure allows the family to control both investment and operational decisions without external fund vehicles.
