Liquid Realty Partners was a pioneering private equity real estate firm that invested in commercial real estate by acquiring interests in institutional real estate funds, partnerships, joint ventures, separate accounts, trusts and other private investment vehicles on a secondary basis. From 2002 to 2009, Liquid Realty Partners raised $1.5 billion in capital commitments, and closed 47 investments comprising over 1,000 properties in 17 countries diversified by strategy, sector, vintage and manager through four fully invested vehicles: two discretionary funds, one club partnership, and one separate account. Liquid Realty Partners' investors included many of the world's leading pensions, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, multi-managers, sovereign wealth funds and private offices. Scott Landress, founder and CEO of Liquid Realty Partners, decided in 2012 to wind down the firm and withdraw from the real estate and securities industries.
