Decades of expertise
With decades of combined commercial real estate investment experience behind our team, we believe are appropriately qualified to grow value for real estate investors.
We launched Accretiv Wealthcare Real Estate Fund because we wanted to create an opportunity for every individual to participate in commercial real estate investment through a simple product that makes investing understandable.
Our experience spans many aspects of the real estate sector, from capital raising and acquisitions to asset management, property management and leasing. Our existing AccretivMED Real Estate Fund 1 includes a portfolio of buildings that span 9 states and have a value of $252 million and invested equity of approximately $101 million from investors across 32 countries globally. Most of all, we believe our extensive network positions us to achieve our goal to build a large portfolio of prime healthcare real estate.
