Meadow’s diverse portfolio

Since its founding in 2009, Meadow Partners has invested more than $2.8 billion in equity through its opportunistic fund series. Based in New York City and London, Meadow is a $6.2 billion real estate manager that specializes in middle-market transactions. The firm currently manages a series of commingled opportunistic funds, a perpetual life vehicle and two core/core-plus separately managed accounts.

Meadow’s portfolio includes about 1.8 million square feet, or 95.8 acres, of industrial space; 3.9 million square feet of office space; 535,000 square feet of retail space as well as 1,854 multifamily units and more than 1,700 units under development, according to its website.

One of its office properties is the Textile Building in Midtown Manhattan, owned in partnership with Tribeca Investment Group and PGIM Real Estate. Last fall, the joint venture secured a 132,000-square-foot lease from global litigation law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan at the 17-story tower. The building underwent a $350 million redevelopment that was completed in April 2023.

Meadow also invests in industrial outdoor storage, a growing subsector that has garnered attention in recent years from institutional investors and private equity firms. In August 2023, Meadow Partners and IG Logistics LLC, Imperium Capital’s industrial platform, leased more than 4 acres of a 26.7-acre IOS site in central Denver to DryBox USA, a locally based shipping and storage container supplier. The joint venture had acquired the property at 409 W. 66th Ave. for $19 million.
