What Avenue Realty Capital does

Avenue Realty Capital (ARC) is a private real estate private equity firm founded in 2012 and headquartered at 60 East 42nd Street in New York. The firm pursues a value-add investment strategy focused on middle-market multi-family housing in the New York City metropolitan area, covering New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Its investment platform follows a "Buy – Improve – Operate – Sell" lifecycle, spanning off-market sourcing, capital improvements, lease-up, hands-on property management, and asset disposition, and additionally targets opportunistic ground-up development of rental and mixed-use projects.

The firm is structured as a fully integrated operating platform that handles acquisition, construction management, property management, and asset disposition in-house, distinguishing it from capital-only sponsors. It is led by three co-founders — Udi Kore (Origination & Investments), Steve Scioscia (Investment Structuring & Legal), and Seth Freeman (Chief Operating Officer) — each with 15+ years of real estate, finance, and construction experience, including prior senior roles at Phoenix Realty Group and other institutional and development firms.

ARC distributes investment opportunities through private placement and joint venture structures to a limited LP base consisting of family offices and institutional investors, with the firm itself having been incubated with guidance from two global family offices. It does not disclose fund size, AUM, or fee terms. The firm has executed $1.4 billion in cumulative completed transactions and the leadership team has overseen 5,800+ residential multi-family units across its collective track record, with representative case studies including a Columbia University-area student dormitory redevelopment (Upper West Side, Manhattan), a 198-unit mixed-use project (Dutch Kills), and a garden-style apartment community renovation (Summit Hill).

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Columbia UniversitynotableStrategic or Co-development PartnerARC provided equity for the acquisition of a six-story, 48,000 SF nonprofit student dormitory building near Columbia University's Upper West Side campus. The property was sold by a religious, non-profit organization in an off-market transaction. The partnership subsequently sold the building to one of Columbia University's schools, yielding a high return with a low risk profile. This demonstrates ARC's ability to work with non-profit and institutional entities.
