The firm was founded in 1987 and operates as a global investment manager focused on listed real estate, private equity real estate, and private real estate debt strategies. CenterSquare manages approximately $14 billion in assets on behalf of institutional and private investors including pension plans, insurance companies, endowments, and high-net-worth individuals. The firm operates through three primary investment platforms. Its Listed Real Estate strategy invests in publicly traded real estate equity securities, including REITs and real estate operating companies across U.S. and global markets. The Private Equity Real Estate platform pursues core-plus and value-add opportunities in the United States, with a focus on Essential Service Retail properties. The Private Real Estate Debt strategy targets core-plus and high-yield opportunities in the U.S. market. CenterSquare employs a three-component investment approach consisting of top-down research examining macroeconomic factors, bottom-up stock-level analysis using proprietary valuation models, and risk management to balance alpha generation with risk minimization. In December 2024, the firm announced a joint venture partnership with a large state pension fund focused on Essential Service Retail, targeting acquisition of 30 to 40 properties by late 2026. The ESR platform has grown to over 80 shopping centers representing more than $1 billion in assets nationally as of March 2026. The firm completed a management buyout from BNY Mellon in January 2018 and is now owned by its management team in partnership with private equity firm Lovell Minnick Partners.
