Brightshore Capital is a global real estate investment firm, headquartered in New York with offices in São Paulo, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, and Munich. Brightshore Capital looks for markets and locations that have strong fundamental drivers such as job and income growth, better quality of life and a business-friendly environment. In those carefully selected markets and locations, we bring capital and expertise to create or enhance the physical built environment that can transform communities. We see communities and locations not for what they are but what they could be. On that journey, we work with planners, architects and builders to drive our vision to results.
