Long time multifamily real estate executive Randy Friend, who founded Eagle Real Estate Group (“Eagle”) in 2000, is pleased to announce the launch of an affiliate company, Eagle Partners, alongside co-founders Taylor Friend, Shahny Lutfeali, and Clay Friend.
Randy Friend has acquired and developed approximately 6,000 multifamily units throughout his career and will serve as Chairman of Eagle Partners. The Co-Founding leadership team collectively brings decades of institutional experience across real estate acquisitions, asset management, development, investment banking and capital markets.
“There is an incredible need for thoughtful investment into enhancing and preserving affordable housing communities in Southern California,” said Taylor Friend, Co-Founder and Partner of Eagle Partners. “Eagle Partners will leverage the strength of Eagle’s vertically integrated platform to execute on our mission to provide resilient, risk-adjusted returns to our investors while revitalizing surrounding communities.”
Co-Founder and Partner Shahny Lutfeali added: “Eagle Partners aims to bring an institutional mindset to the often fragmented affordable housing market. Leveraging its deep local relationships and a value-added strategy that will target converting and preserving affordable housing, Eagle Partners is well positioned to navigate current market dislocation and deliver differentiated strategic investment solutions.”
Eagle Partners is dedicated to delivering investment solutions that prioritize alignment and partnership with our stakeholders. By leveraging our institutional expertise, local relationships, and differentiated operating capabilities, we are committed to unlock opportunities that drive long-term value in the multifamily real estate market. Our core values — vision, strength, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to creating better communities— will guide our decisions in every business aspect.
