What Stars REI does

Stars REI is a privately held real estate investment firm founded around 2011, headquartered in Santiago, Chile, with operational offices in Miami, USA, and real estate holdings concentrated in the U.S. and U.K. The firm invests in commercial real estate — primarily multifamily and office assets — in supply-constrained markets anchored by top universities and corporate commitments, including Boston, the Bay Area, Seattle, New York, Washington D.C., Denver, Texas, Raleigh-Durham, and the U.K. According to current disclosures, Stars REI manages $1.9Bn in assets under management and has executed $2.4Bn in cumulative transactions across 42+ assets (31 currently held, 11 sold), totaling 4,074,341 square feet and 2,606 units.

The firm's core offering is end-to-end real estate investment management covering acquisitions, portfolio management, property management, and capital markets activities. Leadership consists of CEO Oscar Boettiger and President Patricio Leighton, supported by six Vice Presidents across acquisitions (Joaquín Canessa), portfolio management (Felipe Bertoni), capital markets (Felipe Lattapiat), property management (Ian Gonzalez), and finance (Alejandra Dominguez), plus investment associates and analysts. Two senior advisors lend institutional credibility: Ed Casal, former CEO of LaSalle Global Partner Solutions and Aviva Investors Global Real Estate, and John Bruno, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of OlivePoint Capital and former 14-year Partner at CIM Group. The stated strategy emphasizes long-term flexible capital, consistent underwriting discipline, and agile decision-making at the deal-team level.

Stars REI monetizes through traditional real estate investment management economics — asset management fees on AUM and carried interest on realized investments — and pursues a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market targeting institutional investors, family offices, and capital partners for direct co-investment, fund-level commitments, and joint ventures. Most recent disclosed activity is the December 2025 co-investment with John M. Corcoran & Company on the $53.6M sale and $37.1M Fannie Mae financing of 929 MASS in Cambridge, with Walker & Dunlop serving as investment sales broker and capital provider.
