Executive Assistant & Office Manager - Cirrus Real Estate Partners

Cirrus Real Estate Partners’ actions are based on the firm’s core values: fair dealing, fiduciary responsibility and mutual respect. Cirrus’ value-based investment approach is grounded in a deep and granular understanding of the base factors which drive real estate performance generated through the 25+ year average commercial real estate and capital markets experience of its partners.

This experience spans multiple cycles and includes the origination of over $150 billion of commercial real estate credit products and the investment of over $10 billion of commercial real estate equity. While firmly anchored in long-term real estate fundamentals, Cirrus’ approach is purposefully designed to adapt to the unique characteristics of each investment cycle.

Cirrus’ proprietary framework is designed to generate consistent, attractive returns through identifying investments that offer asymmetric risk-return profiles and significant downside protection while integrating direct, active asset management to ensure favorable outcomes for its stakeholders.
