Dornin Investment Group
Overview
Dornin Investment Group is a fully integrated real estate investment firm specializing in distressed, opportunistic, value-add, and core plus real estate-related investments. The firm invests throughout the capital stack, including equity, performing, subordinated, and non-performing debt across all major property types. Since its inception, Dornin Investment Group has acquired, developed, and sold nearly $1.68 billion of real estate-related investments, including fee title and debt investments in multi-family, office, flex, industrial, retail, and hospitality properties throughout the United States. The company offers a full-service investment platform providing asset and property management, leasing, design services, construction management, and capital markets advisory services through its wholly owned subsidiary Dornin Realty Advisors. Dornin Investment Group's investment strategy emphasizes the procurement of distressed, opportunistic, or value-add real estate-related investments where renovations, improved management, or opportunistic acquisitions can reposition the investments to achieve higher market values. The company's experience includes investment in more than $1.68 billion in multi-family, office, industrial, retail, residential, hospitality, and performing, sub, and non-performing loan investments throughout the United States. The company's strategy is to target specific products and/or capital positions at different times in the market cycle where investments can be acquired below stabilized value and replacement cost, then repositioned or aggressively asset and property managed for increased value as markets normalize. In May 2024, Dornin Investment Group refinanced a non-performing loan investment with a $31.5 million note-on-note loan from Maxim Capital Group, demonstrating their active involvement in debt investments. This acquisition required a highly structured approach, navigating multiple moving parts up until closing. It's a strong start to 2025 as the firm continues to focus on delivering value through well-collateralized debt investments. The firm's proven track record in non-performing loan acquisitions is backed by its ability to identify and execute value-driven opportunities nationwide. The firm targets NPLs secured by high-quality real estate assets with loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of 80% or less. Dornin Investment Group specializes in first trust deed positions across a wide range of property types, including industrial, office, retail, and mixed-use. Dornin Investment Group invests in partnership with a broad range of investors, including private high net worth individuals, family offices, money management firms, private equity funds, and other institutional investment companies. The firm prides itself on developing long-term relationships while delivering exceptional risk-adjusted returns. The firm's in-depth underwriting analysis, targeted strategy, creative capital structures, long-standing industry relationships, and its committed hands-on management approach allow its investors to access unique investment opportunities and realize the potential for exceptional returns without the burden of day-to-day involvement that comes from direct investment.
