What We Do

The GT team has more than 100 years of combined experience, bridging three development cycles. Since inception, we have successfully acquired or developed approximately 3 million SF of commercial properties and over 1,400 residential units in the greater Puget Sound region.

Extensive local market experience, deep-rooted industry relationships, and comprehensive and complimentary skill sets allow GT to execute across various asset types, taking advantage of wherever opportunities may arise in the market at any given point in time. Our long track record and highly diversified portfolio are evidence of the team’s ability to successfully target, acquire, and operate at a high-level, irrespective of asset type.

Our Strategy

GT Capital prioritizes projects in core locations at an attractive basis. Active market experience and our proprietary deal flow has allowed GT to assemble a highly diversified portfolio with a stable and attractive return matrix. This philosophy is enabled by the team’s multitude of skill sets, featuring deep in-house expertise in deal origination, debt financing, investment structuring, development, and asset management.

We invest for the long-term, maximizing value through careful tenant selection, hands on management, creative income growth, strategic refinancings, and favorably timed exits.

We target opportunities between $10 – $75 million located in the State of Washington primarily through syndication of single asset investments.

We invest alongside our partners. Since inception, over 50% of total capital invested in GT projects has been internal capital. Simply stated, our returns are built on asset performance as opposed to fees. This dynamic aligns our incentives with those of our investors and has required us to apply significant discipline when making investment decisions..
