ABOUT COLUMBIA CAPITAL GROUP
Columbia Capital Group (CCG) is a private equity multifamily real estate syndication company. Our goal is to identify inefficiencies in the middlemarket multifamily segment, and acquire assets below their real value.
We apply targeted acquisition strategies and active asset management to provide consistent risk-adjusted returns for our investors. Our investment strategy is focused on the Pacific Northwest region, targeting existing Class B and C multifamily properties with identifiable value and upside generated by driving annual NOI through physical renovations, operational improvements, or both.
ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE VALUE – AND RISK – WHERE OTHERS CAN’T
The CCG team has over 100 years of combined experience brokering, investing in, and developing multifamily real estate in the Pacific Northwest. The value of that experience is in the network of relationships formed along the way, and in the intimate historical knowledge of the physical assets themselves.
This all combines to give CCG the unique ability to identify opportunities and avoid pitfalls. For our investors, this means that CCG offerings will present reliable, risk-adjusted returns that we believe will outperform the market.
