What ApexOne IP does

ApexOne Investment Partners, LLC (operating as ApexOne IP) is a privately-held real estate investment management firm founded in 2011 by Jim Hearn and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The firm specializes in identifying, acquiring, enhancing, and operating multifamily properties across U.S. Sunbelt, Midwest, and Mountain West markets, with a stated leadership track record of more than 150 years of combined experience and over $16 billion in completed real estate transactions. ApexOne structures its business as a series of closed-end private equity funds — Growth & Income Fund I, Fund II, Multifamily Fund III, Special Situation Fund IV, and Strategic Investors Fund V — plus the newly announced ApexOne-ECI Multifamily Fund VI, a $500 million joint venture with ECI Group announced in May 2026.

The firm generates revenue primarily through management fees and carried interest on its sponsored funds, with co-GP capital committed alongside limited partners in every transaction. Distribution is conducted via direct, relationship-based capital raising by senior leadership targeting institutional investors (pension funds, endowments, family offices), high-net-worth and accredited investors, and strategic capital partners such as Almanac Realty Investors (Neuberger Berman), which committed up to $350 million to Fund VI. ApexOne executes value-add and special situation strategies through both direct acquisitions and joint venture partnerships — including repeat operating relationships with Balfour Beatty Communities, 18CG, Chapel Street Advisors, Middle Street Partners, Woodfield Development, Hudson Capital, and RiverBanc — and provides limited partners with an Investment Portal for portfolio reporting. The firm does not develop proprietary technology and competes on the basis of talent, sourcing network, and capital alignment rather than technology or AI capabilities.
