About us

Sphinx Group is focusing a vast majority of its efforts on the ground-up and redevelopment of commercial real estate in high-growth leisure/ resort markets with a focus on the following areas:

Hotel/ Hospitality

The inherent benefits of a well-positioned hotel within the central business district of a city are well documented. However, various social and economic shifts have redefined today’s investment landscape. Hotels, both leisure/resorts as well as business class, have served well in the revitalization of urban economies due in part to the job creation opportunities present in metropolitan areas. But, in this post-COVID-19 environment, paradigm shifts in demand give an opportunity for the revitalization of urban infill location within many American cities, especially those communities that abut water, and those with outdoor amenities that are COVID-19 friendly. These underutilized sites are now being incorporated into local development plans instead of being skipped over in the journey from city hall to suburbia.

The urban core contains unique redevelopment opportunities that can capture the history and character of an environment, which cannot be replicated within new suburban town center developments. The recent trend toward “boutique” or “style” hotels is giving added impetus to the viability of creating excitement and interest by providing customized hotel experiences for all generations. Additionally, metropolitan hotels and restaurants benefit from strong adjacent labor forces from nearby neighborhoods with access to the best means of public transportation.

Mixed-Use Projects

Sphinx Group will seek to deliver mixed-use master planned development projects to capitalize on opportunities created by dislocations in the real estate market. Ideally, those projects will be within high- growth leisure markets and have a hotel or lodging component. Sphinx Group also sees opportunities to invest capital in land development, urban town center, and transformational projects within its target market.

Sphinx Group believes that mixed-use properties with hotel, retail, multifamily, and other components located in primary and secondary markets will provide both the opportunities and returns that investors seek to achieve. Mixed-use properties provide the highest and best use to many urban and suburban communities because developers can efficiently meet the community’s needs by adapting to the changing requirements of a community and the marketplace over time. Many local governments are seeking mixed- use development and redevelopment of their existing underutilized properties and Sphinx Group believes that it can capitalize on this need by targeting investments in these types of projects.

Sphinx Group will utilize its strategic relationships and vast business networks to source a consistent flow of off-market and lightly marketed transactions to create unique investment opportunities for the company and its investors. Our team’s experience within the public REIT, private equity, investment banking, commercial banking and public sectors provide it with mixed-use deal opportunities across the country, and to well-established private and publicly traded companies to support and facilitate the company’s penetration into new and highly competitive property markets across North America.
