New York, NY – July 12, 2021 – The Praedium Group (Praedium), a New York-based national real estate investment firm, marked the 30th anniversary of its first investment, which was completed in June 1991.

Since then, the company has completed approximately 400 transactions representing over $12 billion in capital. In addition, the firm sponsored ten private equity funds and several separate investment vehicles. The company was initially formed as a division of Credit Suisse/First Boston to acquire distressed real estate assets for the bank’s proprietary account. In 1994, Praedium became a third-party investment manager affiliated with the bank, and in 1999, Praedium separated from Credit Suisse and has since become an independent privately-held real estate investment firm.

Today, Praedium focuses on investing in multifamily assets in suburban growth markets across the U.S., which brings the company full circle as its first transaction was the purchase of a portfolio of loans secured by multifamily assets. The firm is recognized for its long-term track record in managing and repositioning assets to create value, as well as its expertise in executing complex transactions and its thought-leadership in research on demographic trends that impact rental housing in the U.S.

Known for its entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to prioritizing client objectives, Praedium is comprised of a team of professionals with extensive experience in investing and asset management. The five-member Investment Committee has an average of 30 years of real estate industry experience and has worked together at the firm for an average of 20 years. Recently, the firm was named Real Estate Fund Intelligence’s Multifamily Fund of the Year in 2019,[1] and Praedium was recognized by Globe St./Real Estate Forum as one of 2021’s best places to work in commercial real estate.[2] The company maintains a commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion within the firm and industry, and is also focused on incorporating ESG principles throughout the investment process.

“We’re thankful for the relationships we have built over the past 30 years with our clients, employees and industry peers,” said Russell Appel, Founding Principal of Praedium.
