The Triad Group

What The Triad Group does

The Triad Group is a privately held, partner-led real estate development firm headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. It delivers full-service development across the entire project lifecycle, including site selection, acquisitions and dispositions, financing, design oversight, construction management, lease analysis and negotiations, property management, joint venture partnerships, build-to-suit projects, and brokerage, leasing, and sales. Its service model is intentionally boutique: every engagement is directly led by co-founders Andy Mann and David Schwarzman, who bring decades of combined global experience across commercial, retail, residential, hotel, mixed-use, office, institutional, and student housing assets in markets spanning Boston, New York, Miami, London, Sydney, and Geneva.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its "core technology" is the multidisciplinary expertise of its principals and a hands-on operating model that emphasizes selectivity, direct partner involvement, and quality of execution over scale. Revenue is generated through development fees, property management fees, brokerage commissions, and joint venture co-investment structures. Customers include institutional investors, universities, and property owners, with notable named clients including Boston University, NYU, Cambridge Education Group, Australian Catholic University, and Thor Equities.

The business is concentrated in international student housing for universities and selective ground-up commercial, retail, and hospitality development in the U.S. The Triad Group is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, consistent with a deliberately lean operating model. Aggregate deal activity disclosed by leadership includes $300M+ in property purchases and development analyzed and negotiated, $200M+ in construction projects managed, and $50M+ in general contracting services in the Boston area.
