What TPA Group does

TPA Group is a private real estate investment, acquisition, and development firm headquartered at 1776 Peachtree Road NW in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm operates across nine distinct property asset classes — Build-to-Rent, Industrial, Multifamily, Residential, Cold Storage, Digital Infrastructure, Master-Planned Environments, Office, and Self-Storage & IOS — and reports having acquired, developed, and sold more than $40 billion in investments since 2015. Its portfolio spans over 60 million square feet of industrial and office space, 35,000 acres of land, and more than 11,996 residential units (multifamily plus build-to-rent). The platform leverages institutional-quality in-house construction management for speculative, build-to-suit, and re-development projects. Geographically, TPA Group serves both Southeast and national U.S. markets.

The firm serves two primary customer segments: Fortune 500 and large corporations seeking comprehensive real estate solutions, and institutional investors seeking competitive terms and partnership structures including joint ventures and co-investments. Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct institutional sales, partnership-based deal sourcing, and frequent co-investment with other operators rather than consumer-facing channels. Revenue is generated through transaction fees tied to property acquisition, development, and sale, with terms negotiated on a deal-by-deal basis rather than standardized pricing. Founder J. Bradford Smith (40+ years of experience) oversees overall strategy, while CIO Nathan Pramik (25+ years, with the firm since 1999) executes investment strategy. Most recently, TPA Group partnered with Kevin Durant's 35V investment group to acquire the 500-acre former Six Flags America site in Prince George's County, Maryland for large-scale redevelopment, signaling continued appetite for complex entitleable land positions alongside high-profile co-investment partners.
