The Goodland Group

The Goodland Group

The Goodland Group was established by Peter K. Goodland following the sale of the family's real estate development firm in the early 2000s. The wealth originated from a portfolio of commercial and residential properties in the New York City area, built starting in the 1970s. The family office operates from New York City. Strategically, the firm allocates across real estate equity and debt, private equity buyouts, venture capital, infrastructure, and energy transition investments. The Goodland Group makes direct investments and co-investments alongside select general partners. Confirmed positions include a stake in a renewable energy infrastructure fund and a direct investment in a New York-based data center developer. Its geographic focus is primarily North America, with emerging exposure to European infrastructure (per public record, 2020). The team is lean, with Peter K. Goodland serving as Managing Partner and his son, James R. Goodland, as Partner. The firm does not disclose total professionals or office locations beyond New York. It maintains a separate philanthropic foundation, the Goodland Family Foundation, which focuses on education and environmental conservation. In 2024, the firm increased its allocation to direct real estate debt, reflecting a shift toward higher-yield, shorter-duration investments (per public record, 2024). The Goodland Group operates as a pure single-family office with no external investors. Its structural differentiator is the absence of a commingled fund — all investments are made via special-purpose vehicles or directly. This gives the firm complete discretion over time horizons and asset concentration. The succession plan is unclear publicly, though the inclusion of James R. Goodland as Partner suggests a deliberate family transition.
