COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
THE ALPHA CATALYST WAY
Quantify Everything
We constantly pursue scalable, iterative improvements: our aim is to improve upon the status quo by 1% at hundreds of little things, so that we can be 10x better at the finish line.
Innovate and Improve Daily
Quantifying every facet of our business enables rapid, iterative learning and improvement. Quantifying every facet of CRE asset performance enables transformative acceleration in asset segregation, underwriting, and pursuit.
Provide Clear Value-Add
Value-add is an over-used and diluted concept. To us, being value-additive partners means consistently saving our partners time, money or both. Our aim is to build strategic capital partnerships that increase returns, reduce frequency of negative outcomes, and increase capital deployment velocity vs. traditional alternatives.
Reimagining the multi-family asset…
…transforming tired, underperforming apartment buildings
into vibrant community hubs.
Designed for live, work, and play.
Our Vision
At Alpha Catalyst CRE, we firmly believe that by applying first principles thinking, we can fundamentally transform the commercial real estate sector, creating not just value for our investors, but also pioneering a new path of innovation and efficiency in how properties are developed and managed. Alpha Catalyst CRE envisions reshaping the commercial real estate landscape by integrating advanced data science and first principles thinking, setting new standards in asset transformation and investor returns.
About Us
Focus
Our focus is on the transformation of underperforming multifamily assets into inspirational homes, community centers, work, and learning spaces.
Differentiation
Consistent, transformative results are built upon a foundation of hundreds of seemingly marginal improvements. Our mission is to transform multifamily CRE investing by infusing data science into every aspect of the business. We pursue constant, iterative improvement in every layer of the business, including: market selection, asset segregation, underwriting speed and accuracy, diligence, asset re-design, CapEx budgeting, asset management and capital event optimization.
Value-add
Our intent is to provide tangible value-add to our investors by delivering higher risk-adjusted returns paired with a significantly greater capital deployment velocity vs. typical industry peers. Our value-add to residents is to improve and modernize the quality of their housing and amenities.
Values
Our values are anchored by a culture of teamwork, collaboration, excellence, entrepreneurial innovation, passion, and integrity.
Experience
Alpha Catalyst CRE is led by Yuriy Gelfman its President and Chief Investment Officer. Prior to founding Alpha Catalyst CRE, he served as Chief Investment Officer and co-founder of Olive Tree Holdings. During his 6+ year tenure at Olive Tree, Yuriy co-led the business in the acquisition of over 17,000 underperforming apartments and the disposition of over 6,700 units at strong IRRs. Prior to Olive Tree, he accumulated a decade of experience at two prominent equity hedge funds, Man Investments and Citadel, where he led investments across an array of industries spanning the perimeter of commercial real estate.
Mission
Our mission is to not only serve the financial needs of our strategic capital partners but to also have a clear positive effect on the quality of housing within which our residents live. Further, 5% of the profits generated by Alpha Catalyst CRE will be reinvested in housing and adjacent causes that enrich the lives of LMI tenants.
Alpha Catalyst seeks to invest through scaled capital partnerships with large investors. We see tremendous, repeat opportunity to create value for our investment partners by executing a consistent, scalable investment process, built upon identification, acquisition and transformation of underperforming multifamily real estate.
