Doug Root

more than $500MM of apart- ment value-add acquisitions as well as over $2 billion of apartment and condominium development. Root joined Greystar’s In- vestment Group in March of 2011. There he was respon- sible for the acquisition, dis- position, financing, and asset management of investments in the Northeast, Mid-Atlan- tic, and Mid-West. Over his 5 year tenure at Greystar, Root acquired approximately $1.2 billion of apartments. As a start-up in the Value- add investment space the partners believe they will have two competitive advantages in executing their strategy. The first advantage is a lot of new equity sources are looking to invest in the apartment space, but most existing plat- forms have well established equity relationships and are not seeking new equity part- ners. The second advantage is, unlike most of their peers, Blackfin does not have its own property management firm, creating the opportunity to hire the best management company by market and prod- uct type. While many of its competitors find good opportu- nities, their execution suffers if the management company is either unfamiliar with the market or is not experienced in managing a particular type of asset. n
