What Nord Group does

Nord Group is a vertically integrated private equity real estate investment and management firm founded in 2018 by Saqif Noor, headquartered in Brooklyn, NY with operations in Jersey City and Houston. The firm acquires and operates multifamily properties across the United States, with a stated portfolio of 860+ units and over $500M in assets under management across a cumulative $1B+ in transaction value. Its investment strategy targets Core+, Value-Add, and Affordable multifamily assets (Class A & B, 200+ units, 1995+ vintage) in markets including NY, TX, OH, NC, FL, and TN, with documented exits producing a 30%+ average realized IRR.

The firm operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries that capture the full value-add lifecycle: Nord Management handles day-to-day property operations, leasing, and institutional-grade financial reporting, while Nord Construction (100+ employees) executes all capital improvements in-house across plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinet fabrication, and renovations, purchasing materials in bulk directly from factories to reduce costs. Technology stack consists of PowerBI for asset management analytics, Resman and Appfolio for property management, and a dedicated data analyst function supporting acquisition underwriting. The platform does not employ proprietary AI/ML systems.

Nord Group's commercial model is direct sales-led: the capital markets team (led by Greg Wysocki) sources joint venture equity from institutional investors, family offices, founders, and corporate entities for individual property acquisitions. Revenue is generated through rental income on JV-owned properties, asset and property management fees, and construction services. In March 2026, the firm filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for Huntington Glen Apartments in Houston amid a disputed $37M Fannie Mae loan default, with Fannie Mae seeking dismissal—a material credit event that creates downside risk for the broader franchise.
