Cress Capital

What Cress Capital does

Cress Capital LLC is a privately held, multi-strategy real estate operator, investor, and fund manager founded in 2012 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with a secondary office in Denver, Colorado. The firm invests and develops industrial and office properties across the Western U.S. — Southern California and Colorado in particular — and also runs a national Opportunity Zone investment business through the RevOZ Capital joint venture formed in 2018 with Raj Capital. The Opportunity Zone vertical manages Qualified Opportunity Funds that deploy capital across designated OZ census tracts throughout the United States, providing investors with capital gains deferral, reduction, and potential elimination through compliant fund structures. Over the firm's history, the principals have invested more than $2 billion in commercial real estate spanning 20 million square feet, while Cress and its affiliates have deployed over $250 million of equity in transactions exceeding $1 billion of total capitalization.

The firm pursues a value-add investment philosophy centered on acquiring mispriced assets, repositioning or developing them, and timing exits to capture superior risk-adjusted returns. Recent acquisitions include The 410, a 24-story approximately 440,000 sq ft office tower in Downtown Denver acquired in May 2024, and a 122,904 sq ft industrial property in Baldwin Park, California acquired jointly with Brasa Capital Management in October 2023. Cress distributes its investment products directly to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals through managed funds, direct co-investment opportunities, and an investor login portal — there is no intermediary or placement-agent layer. The firm also relies on off-market deal sourcing through long-standing local relationships and repeat partnerships with operators such as TA Realty, Revesco Properties, Roxborough Group, and PacVentures.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: (1) fund management fees and carried interest on Opportunity Zone and other real estate investment vehicles, and (2) returns from direct property acquisition, repositioning, and disposition for own account and alongside JV partners. Marketing is conducted primarily through PRNewswire distribution, trade-publication coverage (Bisnow, GlobeSt, CoStar, The Real Deal), and the firm's own website. The firm is led by Managing Partners Tom Parnell and Ryan Parkin (the founders), with Principal Wade Doidge leading Denver-based asset management and acquisitions.
