ABOUT WADE A.
Over the last 10 years, I\'ve executed more than $1 billion in institutional real estate investments across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic — spanning multifamily, industrial, office, retail, and mixed-use assets across nine markets.I operate as a full-cycle investor: I find deals others don\'t see (56% of transactions sourced off-market), build the capital structures that make them work, and lead execution from term sheet through close. My experience includes leading acquisitions and developments ranging from $25M shallow-bay industrial projects to $135M+ retail repositionings, structuring complex joint venture partnerships, and contributing to a $500M+ discretionary fund raise and $40M+ co-investment vehicle.My investment focus is value-add and opportunistic strategies in Sunbelt markets, where I\'ve built deep operator, lender, and broker relationships over a decade of consistent deal activity. I\'ve worked across the full capital structure — direct ownership, new JV formations, and existing partnership platforms — with business plans spanning light value-add through ground-up development.What I bring beyond the model: the ability to source relationships and opportunities independently, structure deals that align incentives across the capital stack, and see transactions through the complexity of execution without losing sight of the investment thesis.Markets: Atlanta · Charlotte · Nashville · Tampa · Orlando · Raleigh-Durham · Charleston · Greenville · Washington DC Metro
