Stephen B. Pharr

CO-Founding Partner

I’m a founding partner of Old Harbour Partners, a best-in-class commercial real estate investment and advisory platform serving single and multi-family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and RIAs. We help our partners directly invest across asset classes and also serve as strategic advisors and mentors. To preserve alignment, we never act as both advisor and investor on the same transaction.

At the center of our philosophy is the “Locker-Room” concept—a collaborative, team-driven environment where families, sponsors, and operators share ideas, diligence, and opportunities. OHP acts as the head coach, managing the triangle of Sponsor – Capital – Deal, from sourcing and underwriting to structure, execution, and asset management.

I lead our capital relationships, sponsor vetting, and investment committee efforts. We focus on off-market, value-add, and opportunistic opportunities across the Sunbelt, emphasizing basis, structure, and long-term partnerships.

My leadership style has been shaped by years of building teams—in business, sports, and at home. Sports taught me preparation and accountability. Business taught me execution. Fatherhood taught me patience, perspective, and the true meaning of legacy. Whether mentoring a family, managing investor relationships, underwriting new opportunities, or supporting sponsor execution, I lead with clarity, consistency, and integrity.
