ABOUT THE COMPANY
At The REvision Group we are laser focused on identifying and vetting “best in class” real estate sponsors and capital partners. While utilizing our deep industry knowledge, we provide strategic guidance in the joint venture/advisory process. As a performance based service; The REvision Group aligns our firms’ interests with both capital sources as well as sponsors. This unique dynamic helps to create world class partnerships, where all stakeholders benefit.
With 28 years of experience of raising capital, The REvision Group acts as a guide to help connect investors to new deals as well as businesses to capital sources. We spend time with capital partners in order to understand their criteria while doing proper financial due-diligence on their deal flow. Combining our unique skill-set with our broad network of investors, The REvision Group will continue to develop strong connections from both sides.
We understand what is needed for Sponsors/Developers to prepare, so they can enhance their probability to attract attention and eventually raise the capital they need:
The REvision Group’s history of successfully brokering deals speaks for itself. Our long term, strong relationships with large PE funds and family offices, along with a database of over 300 private wealthy individuals, has allowed The REvision Group to accelerate the connection process for those seeking funding.
Our clients expect our group to provide advice that will enhance their ability to attract funding that they need to grow. Our advisory team helps with preparing offer memorandums and decks that are of institutional quality. We will guide the sponsors on what needs to be prepared in order to get the attention of the family offices.
OUR AFFILIATES
Bellwether Enterprise is the largest non-bank, private mortgage company in the USA. We have the privilege of being the sole supplier of equity on a select number of projects, and together we provide a one-stop shop for the entire capital stack for discerning clients.
The Millennia Companies specialize in preserving and managing affordable/market-rate housing for thousands of residences by investing and re-capitalizing. The REvision Group teamed up with them to help raise over $400 M to purchase Key Tower, the largest commercial building between NYC and Chicago.
NEW CRISIS CAPITAL SOLUTIONS
Recovery and Enhancement Funds
The REvision Group is responding to the current crisis by offering new funds in order to help current developers of real estate assets, who need short term funding to keep their developments well capitalized in these difficult times. This special “Enhancement/Recovery” funding will be used as a Preferred Equity Investment, and can be a better or maybe the only alternative to infuse capital for their businesses. The goal of this fund is to provide new equity, in a time where debt and existing equity from the current sponsors and their capital sources are scarce.
Distressed Hospitality Funds
With travel advisories around the world telling people to refrain from traveling for a while, hotels are going to be impacted adversely. The REvision Group has been engaged to identify ‘Best in Class’ sponsors/ hotel owners who are looking for capital to grow and acquire troubled hotel assets at a deep discount. We have some very strong hotel operators who are looking for equity partners to take advantage of the distressed hospitality cycle in pricing. This once in a lifetime distressed sale opportunity to invest in troubled hotel assets won’t last forever.
