Urban Catalyst LLC is a U.S. real estate private equity and fund management firm headquartered in San Jose, California, that specializes in institutional-quality real estate investment funds, including tax-advantaged Opportunity Zone funds and traditional private equity real estate funds. The firm focuses on ground-up development and value-add multifamily, hospitality, senior living, office/retail, and mixed-use projects with a particular concentration on transformative redevelopment in Downtown San Jose and the Silicon Valley region.

Founded in 2018 by real estate professionals with deep experience in development, capital markets, and fund management, Urban Catalyst structures Regulation D private placement funds that pool investor capital for large-scale real estate projects designed to generate risk-adjusted returns as well as potential U.S. federal tax incentives (e.g., Opportunity Zone tax benefits) for accredited investors.

The firm’s strategy integrates active fund management and “developer-first” execution, owning land and progressing major projects through entitlement, construction, and stabilization phases. Urban Catalyst has been recognized in industry rankings for its Opportunity Zone funds and development leadership and has attracted capital for multi-asset portfolios that include multifamily towers, senior living communities, hotels, and office/retail conversions.
