Real Estate
Diverse asset classes prepared to weather any market season
Big River is fluent in the full range of commercial real estate classes. But we pick our shots carefully. So that when we commit our partners understand that we will bring to bear the full weight of our expertise, creativity, passion and acumen. Our life’s work is creating such value in the physical spaces where life happens that it expands into the future and accrues to the benefit of all.
Asset Classes
We offer a bespoke suite of real estate investment and development capacity under one roof.
Commercial real estate and investment, the way we do it at Big River, requires a deep understanding of the macro trends in the country as well as a personal and hyper local feel for the nuances of community, neighborhood, culture, and placemaking.
There’s no kind of project we aren’t equipped to take on. But there is no kind of project we aren’t willing to walk away from if it doesn’t mean the standards of our platform.
Residential
Life in the City
We build and develop environments designed to nurture and house the full richness of community life. Our capital partners understand this and the cities we work in count on it.
We see the whole picture of the urban core, and within that Big River is focused on multi-family and mixed use developments in walkable areas with access to mass transit. We target neighborhoods that represent submarkets with dissonant price points but robust economic and demographic fundamentals.
Our properties are highly amenitized, tech forward and individually managed by professional teams who deliver on our values for our residents. Sustainable, safe, healthy and thoughtfully engaged with our neighboring area.
Uncommon urban
Big River’s residential platform delivers and operates best in class multifamily and build-to-rent (BTR) properties in dynamic metropolitan markets across the country. Our value-add, data-rich practices locate, program and design residential communities that transform urban neighborhoods. We act decisively with small business agility, backed by a well capitalized commitment to cutting edge technology and first class services. We leverage the scale and collective experience of Big River’s team to offer singular execution and reliably stronger returns.
Unique environments, custom built
At BR, we are guided by a simple design principle: to both fit in and stand out — fit into the existing fabric of the city but stand out from any other product in town. Our residences are thoughtfully curated by renowned architects to include high-end finishes and architectural features as well as state of the art technology and amenities that cater to residents’ lifestyle demands and enrich the city-living experience for everyone.

Medical Office & Life Sciences
Preempting demand with unique solutions
In the rapidly changing healthcare industry, providers and patients demand modern, functional facilities to meet the ever expanding need for services. The race for new and improved outpatient facilities has led BR to assemble a team of healthcare real estate investment veterans to further develop our portfolio of premier assets.
This platform benefits its tenants and capital partners by leveraging synergies throughout the fully-integrated team organization including development, construction, finance, and management.
Expanding healthcare capabilities
Big River strategically established its medical office and life sciences division to add to its offerings across the continuum of care and serve as a complement to our senior living vertical. Our dedicated team of industry experts focuses exclusively on acquiring, developing, and operating institutional-quality medical properties, healthcare laboratory and research facilities across the US.
Focused sector investment
We all know our population is aging. There remains a robust, long-term need for outpatient healthcare real estate and cutting-edge research facilities. Hospital systems continue to prefer the “hub and spoke” model with their outpatient facilities. Given capital and operational efficiencies, they increasingly seek partnerships with well-capitalized and experienced third-party developers and owners. That’s Big River. Across the country we specialize in acquisition and development opportunities where our platform can add value.
Another path forward
Big River’s vertically integrated platform and synergistic healthcare capabilities are matched with our national network, reputation and reach to leave the firm strongly positioned in the healthcare real estate industry. Our extensive roster of investment, development, construction, and property management professionals enables us to deliver top flight execution. We strive to balance an entrepreneurial approach that dovetails with our institutional experience to create specifically tailored solutions. We offer deep experience and internal capability to healthcare providers and university partners with a one-stop solution for their real estate needs.
