Real Estate Strategy

Valley Forge Real Estate (“VFRE”) structures private investment vehicles to access multiple real estate asset classes through a single fund commitment. Historically VFRE funds have allocated half of the fund to opportunistic commercial real estate targeting capital appreciation and half of the VFRE fund has been allocated to sale-leaseback opportunities with a focus on cash-on-cash current yield. Valley Forge prides itself on its long-lasting real estate partnerships that have been strengthened by clear communication, thoughtful due diligence processes, and, most importantly, the ability to close on a deal in a timely manner.
