The Old Harbour Difference

Our focus? Acting as trusted stewards for our clients’ needs.

Our Story

Old Harbour Partners (OHP) is a multi-family office real estate investment and advisory platform built to help families, RIAs, and high-net-worth individuals directly invest in institutional-quality real estate alongside deeply vetted operating partners. The platform emerged from decades of experience, relationships, and transaction history across private capital, real estate sponsorship, and family office advisory.

OHP is designed to operate both as a discretionary limited partner investor and as an independent fiduciary advisor, with a clear separation between those roles to maintain transparency and alignment. We guide and represent capital either through direct LP/Co-GP investments or as a trusted advisory resource for families navigating strategy, structure, or execution.

In many cases, OHP also acts as the fractional head of real estate for family offices seeking outsourced expertise and access in the commercial real estate space. For those who lack the infrastructure to actively engage the market, OHP is viewed as the pivotal “head coach”—managing the full Sponsor–Capital–Deal cycle on their behalf.

Members of this Locker-Room community benefit from exclusive relationships, privileged introductions, proprietary market intelligence, access to thoroughly vetted investment opportunities, insights into emerging risks and trends, and tailored value creation strategies.

At the center of OHP is the Locker-Room concept—a collaborative environment where families and operators align around a disciplined process rooted in trust, execution, and performance. Our leadership extends from early-stage sourcing and underwriting through deal structuring, closing, and hands-on asset management.

Since inception, OHP has built and now manages a real estate portfolio exceeding $250 million in total capitalization, created from scratch through direct sourcing and long-term relationships across Sunbelt markets.
