Rockpoint Group
Rockpoint Group is a real estate private equity firm co-founded by Keith Gelb and now led by Tom Gilbane as Co-CEO. The firm emerged from Westbrook Real Estate Partners, where Gelb was a managing member. Rockpoint has operated as an institutional manager rather than a family office, raising capital from pension funds and endowments. The firm targets value-add and opportunistic real estate across several asset classes: multifamily, industrial, hospitality, and office. Confirmed holdings include Spring Creek Towers in New York, a 5,881-unit affordable housing complex; Pompano Industrial in South Florida; and 100 Park Avenue, a Manhattan office tower. Rockpoint also partners with developers; a May 2024 joint venture with 13th Floor Investments was announced to develop Link at Boca in Boca Raton, Florida. Geographically, the firm focuses on the eastern and western United States, with additional capital-raising offices in Dubai, Seoul, and Abu Dhabi. Rockpoint maintains a team of roughly 60 professionals across its Boston, San Francisco, and Dallas offices. The firm's organizational structure includes a Management Committee overseeing investments and operations. While total assets under management are not publicly disclosed, Rockpoint has deployed capital through a series of institutional funds. The firm does not maintain a publicly linked philanthropic foundation. Rockpoint's structural differentiator is its heritage: the firm was formed by the former leadership of Westbrook Real Estate Partners, giving it a 30-year institutional track record in US real estate. Its governance includes a Managing Member and Executive Chairman (Gelb) who transitioned from Co-CEO in 2025, preserving ownership continuity across senior principals.
