W5 Group targets equity, preferred equity, or mezzanine investments of $20 million or greater in ground-up developments and existing assets/portfolios in innovative real estate sectors including multifamily, student housing, single-family rentals, co-living and micro-apartments in major urban and high-growth markets in the United States. Target markets include but are not limited to New York, Boston, Washington, D.C. Miami, and high growth cities in Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, and Arizona.

As the investment team of a serial-entrepreneur, we leverage our strong operational background and in-depth financial market knowledge with our private equity expertise to make investments in cutting-edge and disruptive businesses in the US and Europe.
