40 Years of Combined Experience

The Principals of Bear Equities have a diverse and unique perspective, that together, allows us to sift through information and predict an outcome through the loud noises in the investment process.

Our Principals have over 40 years of combined experience in institutional and private equity real estate. Our focus has been the acquisition, finance, and development of over $1.5 billion worth of commercial properties as developer and investment manager on behalf of shareholders. We are not limited by geography or project size, but rather are able to capitalize on any opportunity to generate attractive returns.
