About
Buckingham Advisors (“Buckingham”) is a boutique commercial real estate firm in New York, specializing in equity financing and co-investment. We build long-term partnerships by seeking out what our clients’ needs are, and match them with the right capital source. In addition, we selectively co-invest alongside our clients to ensure interests are aligned and stand by them side-by-side throughout the whole transaction. As the real estate markets are evolving, we stay abreast of the most up-to-date strategies, and remain geography and asset agnostic across all property types.
Solutions
PRINCIPAL INVESTING
We selectively co-invest on a deal-by-deal basis targeting operators and developers with specialized sector or market expertise. We focus on real estate investment themes and strategies that reflect our views on demographic drivers, the economic outlook, capital market trends and sector fundamentals.
JOINT VENTURE EQUITY
Access to equity is the most important part of the capital structure. Our diverse and global background allows us to access capital that is not commonly known or is not easily sourced from the sponsor community. We have relationships with domestic and international family offices and private equity funds, to provide LP or preferred equity for income producing, value-add and opportunistic investments.
special situations
We help sponsors identify the right partners to get through challenging situations by providing liquidity to recapitalize nonperforming assets, stalled development projects, unforeseen financial needs, and broken partnerships through majority and minority buyouts.
