What Hudson Capital Properties does

Hudson Capital Properties is a privately held, family-owned real estate investment and development firm founded in 2009 by James S. Cohen and Steven Sprung. The firm is headquartered in Teaneck, New Jersey with a regional office in Raleigh, North Carolina, and concentrates its activity in the Southeast United States, including the Atlanta, Raleigh, and Greensboro/High Point markets. Since inception it has executed more than $2.5B in real estate transactions, scaling to a peak portfolio of 7,500 multifamily units valued at over $1.2B during 2016-2020 before divesting approximately $1B of stabilized assets in 2021.

The firm acquires underperforming or value-add multifamily and commercial properties, executes repositioning with $15,000-$25,000 per-unit capital investments, and sells stabilized assets to generate returns for its investor base. It co-invests its own capital alongside investors in every deal, markets a 26% IRR and 5.5x equity multiple on the 2021 realization, and holds Freddie Mac Multifamily Select Sponsor status (since 2019), which provides access to fixed-rate agency financing on 2,000+ units. Its product surface has expanded beyond workforce/low-B multifamily to include Active Adult communities, industrial developments, and land development. Revenue is generated through property disposition gains, recurring rental income, asset management fees, and investor relations services delivered via a dedicated Juniper Square-based investor portal, with a customer base comprising institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals seeking exposure to Southeast US value-add real estate.

Operationally the firm runs on a small team of 11-50 employees spanning investment, asset management, construction, legal, investor relations, and finance functions, without proprietary technology platforms. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to institutional investors and family offices, supported by a LinkedIn presence, company website, and direct investor email communication. The company is privately held with no parent or institutional PE backing disclosed, and operates as a sole owner-operator sponsor following a 2015 restructuring from an earlier passive LP model.

Broad incumbents

• The Related Companies: Large diversified real estate developer with a substantial affordable/workforce housing platform (Related Affordable). Overlaps with Hudson's workforce/B-class multifamily focus and represents a broader incumbent with deeper institutional capital access.
• Starwood Capital Group: Private real estate investment firm with large multifamily and housing strategies. Starwood is a broader incumbent that competes for institutional LP capital and Sun Belt multifamily deals.
• Greystar Real Estate Partners: Largest multifamily property manager and one of the largest developers and investors globally. Greystar is a broad incumbent that operates across the value chain Hudson touches (acquisitions, asset management, property management), with deep Southeast US exposure.
• Blackstone Real Estate: World's largest real estate PE platform, including BREIT and core+ multifamily strategies. Blackstone is a broad incumbent whose multifamily deployment can swing market pricing in the same Sun Belt markets Hudson targets.

Direct peers

• Bell Partners: Greensboro, NC-based multifamily owner-operator with a major Southeast US focus. Bell Partners sold a 46-acre Cherokee County (Atlanta) property to Hudson and competes head-to-head for similar value-add multifamily assets in overlapping Sun Belt markets.
• Kettler: Mid-Atlantic and Southeast US multifamily owner, developer, and manager. Kettler operates a similar value-add/development strategy in markets that overlap Hudson's footprint, including the Carolinas and DC metro area.
• Trammell Crow Residential: National multifamily developer and investor owned by CBRE Group. TCR pursues development and value-add strategies in the Southeast that closely mirror Hudson's product mix and institutional capital model.
• Wood Partners: National multifamily developer and acquirer with significant Southeast US activity. Wood Partners competes with Hudson for value-add multifamily deals and institutional capital, and operates a comparable sponsor/co-invest model.
• GID Investment Advisers: Vertically integrated real estate investment manager with multifamily operating platforms. GID's strategy of acquiring, repositioning, and operating multifamily portfolios aligns with Hudson's value-add owner-operator model.
