Kingbird originated as the real estate investment subsidiary of Grupo Ferré Rangel, a 100-year-old family office based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We are experienced, focused, and committed to a disciplined, research-driven investment approach. At Kingbird, we structure our investment vehicles to achieve strong risk-adjusted returns, focused on capital preservation and downside protection.
We are investment managers, with an active, hands-on acquisition and asset management approach. To capture the strategic opportunities that align with our total return objectives and investment profile, Kingbird uses a fundamentals-based approach to frame our investment decisions. Our unique partnership network with local property managers and operators enables us to capitalize on growth cycles during upturns, with the flexibility to reduce exposure in downturns – and to maximize operating efficiency, cash flow and value.
The Kingbird team has invested on behalf of pension funds, family offices, public REITs, institutions, corporations, and qualified individual investors. With a foundation as a subsidiary of a 100-year-old family office, we are highly experienced in serving the needs of family office investors.
Great economic opportunity lies in the incredible demand for housing that is affordable to average Americans yet does not fall into the government subsidy category. With limited new construction to choose from and record home unaffordability, demand for affordable apartment rentals far exceeds available supply in communities nationwide and has reached crisis levels in some markets.

Kingbird systematically identifies these market dislocations and levers its relationship network and experience to capitalize on the opportunities these dislocations present.
