About

Welcome to Magnet: Your Strategic Partner in Asset Management & Tenant Representation for Companies and Buyers of Commercial & Industrial Property.
 

Who We Are
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Magnet is an asset management firm specializing in curating mid-size commercial real estate (CRE), industrial properties, and operating company opportunities across major U.S. metropolitan markets, with a strong foothold in the Southeast. For over 15 years, we’ve earned a reputation as a trusted partner, bringing deep market insight, operational expertise, and a curated syndicate of investors and operators to every deal. Our team hails from high-level careers as General Partners (GPs), Limited Partners (LPs), Managing Directors (MDs), and Directors in M&A and Private Equity—giving us the professional pedigree of a PE fund or Family Office, paired with a hands-on, local approach.
The Southeast, one of the world’s largest economic engines, is our home—not just a strategy. We deliver sophisticated advisory services and boots-on-the-ground execution, bridging the gap between investors, operators, and high-value opportunities.

What We Do
Magnet connects capital with opportunity, focusing on CRE and industrial properties and offering Tenant Representation for investor business owners of corporate operating companies. We work for our partners and we don’t take majority stakes—instead, we excel in a support role, offering:

• Syndication: Assembling trusted groups of investors and operators for seamless, well-capitalized deals.

• Listings & Private Placements: Structuring opportunities to match investor and operator mandates.

• Co-Investments: Partnering alongside PE Funds and Family Offices to enhance value.

• Independent Deal Sourcing: Identifying and curating mid-size assets—too large for individuals, too small for institutional giants—for full PE Funds or FOs to lead as majority investors.

• Our specialty? Thoughtfully selecting commercial and industrial properties and operating companies that align with investor and operator goals, then providing strategic advisory and local execution to ensure success. From raw land development to income-producing assets, we prioritize intrinsic value and long-term potential.

​​

How We Work
Our process mirrors the discipline of PE and FOs because that’s where we’ve honed our craft. Here’s how we operate: Curated Opportunities: We target mid-size assets with untapped potential—75% CRE and industrial, 25% operating companies—using strict, conservative underwriting to match investor mandates.

• Strategic Advisory: We’re not the investors; we’re Magnet—the firm that advises and structures deals with the same sophistication as top-tier PE players.

• Local Expertise: As Southeastern natives, we provide boots-on-the-ground execution, ensuring smooth transactions and operational success.

• Trusted Syndicate: We bring a network of deep-pocketed, long-term capital partners and seasoned operators to every project, minimizing risk and maximizing returns. For 10 years, this approach has delivered results—unlocking value through disciplined deal-making and regional mastery.

Why Partner With Us?

Magnet bridges the gap between capital and execution, offering:

• Access to a Trusted Network: Our syndicate of investors and operators ensures deep, reliable capital and operational know-how.

• Market Insight: We thrive in CRE (retail, office, industrial) and land development, plus select operating companies in sectors like infrastructure, specialty distribution, and facility services.

• Trend-Driven Opportunities: We target assets tied to eCommerce growth, decarbonization, infrastructure modernization, and data-driven innovation.

We’re not here to lead as majority investors—we’re here to support PE Funds, Family Offices, and operators with curated deals and flawless execution. Our track record speaks for itself: enhanced returns, smooth transactions, and lasting partnerships.
