Regent Properties

Regent Properties

Regent Properties was founded in 2001 by John M. Given as a family office vehicle centered on real estate. Given, who built his wealth through prior real estate ventures, structured the firm to operate with a long-duration, unlevered or low-leverage approach to ownership. The firm is headquartered in Los Angeles and remains privately held. Regent Properties pursues value-add and opportunistic real estate investments across asset classes including multifamily, office, retail, and industrial. The firm targets properties in major US markets such as Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, and the Sun Belt. Known holdings include repositioned office complexes and multifamily communities in urban infill locations. The firm acts as both principal and operator, often taking direct control of assets. Team size is not publicly disclosed. Regent Properties maintains a lean structure, typical of an active family office with direct real estate operations. A recent activity includes the acquisition and repositioning of a portfolio of office properties in Greater Los Angeles, as reported in local business journals. The firm does not operate separately marketed funds or external partnerships visible in public record. A structural differentiator is Regent Properties' approach as a sponsor-less family office — John M. Given controls all investment decisions directly, with no external LPs. This allows the firm to hold assets indefinitely, avoiding typical fund deadlines. The firm's primary operational risk is succession, as no named successor is publicly identified.
