Pearlmark

Pearlmark Real Estate, LLC was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with additional offices in Denver, Los Angeles, and New York. The firm describes itself as a specialist manager of commercial real-estate equity and debt investments across middle-market (mid-cap) properties.

Pearlmark pursues a mix of investment strategies — from equity investments in value-add and core-plus properties to credit/debt investments (mezzanine loans, preferred equity, debt financing). Their target property types often include multifamily (including student housing), industrial, and other commercial real-estate assets across the U.S.

Over its history, Pearlmark — now under the majority ownership of Conning, Inc. (since 2022) — has sponsored numerous equity and debt programs and completed hundreds of real-estate transactions spanning a broad set of markets and property types.
