CASE STUDY 01

Southeast Multifamily Portfolio

Off-market acquisition, financing, and vertical integration to $600M+ AUM — then a full-cycle exit.

The Opportunity

In partnership with institutional private-equity capital, Dunross’ principal set out to build a Southeast U.S. apartment portfolio entirely through off-market deals — avoiding the pricing premiums and competition of brokered processes.

What We Did

  • Directly sourced and acquired approximately 5,000 units off-market, with no broker auctions.
  • Structured and placed financing across the portfolio — from bridge loans through permanent refinancings, total financings exceeded $400 million.
  • Built integrated asset management, property management, and construction capabilities in-house to drive value at the asset level, with an employee base of over 200.

The Result

  • Scaled the portfolio to more than $600 million in assets under management.
  • When cap rates and yield-on-cost compressed by 300 bps and apartment assets became too expensive, stopped buying and began selling in 2021.
  • Executed a successful full-cycle sale of the assets between 2021 and 2025.
CASE STUDY 02

National Investment Managers

A roll-up from $200M to $13B in assets — built into the largest independent pension administration firm in the U.S.

The Opportunity

A fragmented pension-administration industry with dozens of small, sub-scale operators — ripe for consolidation by a disciplined acquirer with a clear integration playbook.

What We Did

  • Founded the platform and led a buy-and-build strategy of 25+ “tuck-in” acquisitions in four years.
  • Integrated acquired firms onto a common operating platform while scaling the team from 4 to more than 800 employees.
  • Financed the growth and acquisitions through a hedge fund, and later with Lehman Brothers — over $150 million of debt and equity.

The Result

  • Grew assets under administration from $200 million to over $13 billion.
  • Became the largest independent pension administration firm in the country.
  • Sold the business to private equity in a successful exit.
CASE STUDY 03

Conduit Lending Platform — with Lehman Brothers

Founding and building a large non-traditional finance lender for commercial real estate and business lending.

The Opportunity

Borrowers in commercial real estate and operating businesses were underserved by traditional bank credit — a gap that a purpose-built conduit lender could fill at scale.

What We Did

  • Co-founded and built the lending business in partnership with Lehman Brothers.
  • Originated and structured non-traditional financing across commercial real estate and business lending.
  • Originated over $1 billion through channel partners.

Why It Matters Today

This is the same DNA behind Dunross Capital Partners: representing institutional capital, originating and structuring directly, and getting deals closed — now on behalf of sponsors, business owners, and founders.
