Starwood Capital Group is a private investment firm with a primary focus on global real estate. Since its inception in 1991, the Firm has raised $45 billion of equity capital and currently has in excess of $60 billion of assets under management. Over the past 27 years, Starwood Capital has acquired over $100 billion of assets, including properties within virtually every major real estate asset class.

Since founding Starwood Capital during the depths of the savings & loan crisis with the purchase of non-performing loans and real estate assets from the Resolution Trust Corp., Chairman and CEO Barry Sternlicht has overseen the Firm’s growth into a diversified investment company that today encompasses approximately 4,000 employees. Including affiliated operations, the Firm maintains offices in Miami (Headquarters), Arlington, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Greenwich, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and affiliated offices in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, London and Luxembourg.

Starwood Capital’s hallmark is to invest opportunistically, moving between asset classes, geographies and positions in the capital stack as the Firm perceives risk/return dynamics to be evolving. To execute this strategy, Starwood Capital has built up asset-class and geographic expertise in the Firm’s targeted markets.

Throughout its history, the Firm has created a number of market-leading platforms to enhance operational efficiencies and maximize the value of its investments.
