More than 25 years ago, three real estate professionals joined forces to create a different type of real estate investment firm - one that would leverage their passion for developing and investing in real estate with the rigorous due diligence found at Wall Street firms. Today, BC\'s success is evident in the portfolio of impressive properties they\'ve built from the ground up, the strong relationships they\'ve forged with real estate professionals and investors around the world, and the returns they\'ve delivered to their investors. Their strategically located offices put them close to their investments, facilities developing strong relationships with local real estate partners and informs their market intelligence. During their 25-year history, BC has sponsored 18 full scale investment platforms, including 13 institutional and 5 retail funds. The properties in which they invest are selected through a rigorous and disciplined process. Current U.S. based investment platforms include, IPT (Industrial REIT), Dividend Capital Diversified Property Fund (Core/Core-Plus Diversified REIT) and Black Creek Build-to-Core Industrial Partnerships.
