With assets under management above USD 9 billion, Broadshore aims to focus on new investment opportunities in the next phase of the market.
Broadshore Capital Partners, a national real estate investment and advisory firm, has completed a management buyout that makes it fully independent. The transaction saw the company's leadership team, led by Chief Executive Officer Brad Howe, acquire the ownership stake previously held by The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. This shift now makes Broadshore a 100 percent management-owned enterprise. The development marks another step in the firm's progression since its start more than 30 years ago. Advertisement
Brad Howe said the move represents an important turning point for Broadshore. He explained that the firm began in the early 1990s as an entrepreneurial and vertically integrated real estate manager, and over time, Guardian became a valued partner for more than 15 years. With the buyout, Howe stated that Broadshore can now be more agile and entrepreneurial, with stronger alignment between the company's leadership and the long-term interests of its clients.
The company noted that operations will continue without disruption. Senior management and investment teams remain unchanged, and relationships with institutional investors will continue as before. Broadshore added that its multi-strategy approach investing in equity and debt across different property sectors nationwide remains the same.
Chief Operating Officer Russell Munn described the buyout as the result of a coordinated effort that brought together support from clients, lenders, and employees. He added that Broadshore is already working on new investment initiatives that reflect the recovery opportunities the firm expects in the market ahead.
Broadshore's history stretches back to its founding in 1990 under a predecessor name. In the early years, the firm gained experience by working on complex loan workouts and distressed opportunities. Since then, it has expanded its presence across the United States and today manages over USD 9 billion in assets. Over time, Broadshore has focused on both opportunistic and core investment strategies, serving a range of institutional clients including public and corporate pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds.
