Water Street Partners was founded on the premise that real estate operating partners are most effective when their interests are aligned with those of their investors. Its founders, Joe Boone and Jim Hegedus, set out to create a different kind of real estate investment company - one that focuses on maximizing the returns of each investment rather than services that create potential conflicts of interest. Our mission is to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns through real estate investment. We do this thoughtfully and ethically with an emphasis on providing transparency to, and aligning interests with, our investors and partners. Paramount to this mission is our commitment to invest our own capital into each investment we make. With our capital at-risk, investors can rest assured that we are keenly focused on protecting and growing each investment. Our efforts are fueled by a passion for real estate investment and guided by seven core values: honesty, integrity, transparency, excellence, innovation, respect and commitment.
