Who We Are

As a leading diversified finance company, Starwood Property Trust (NYSE: STWD) has deployed $117 billion in capital since inception, focusing on the real estate and infrastructure sectors. Its acquisition of LNR Property LLC in 2013 expanded offerings to include fixed-rate and conduit loans, with LNR serving as one of the largest CMBS conduit Special Servicers, covering approximately 21% of all transactions in the CMBS conduit universe. This platform provides invaluable insights into distressed debt markets.

Launched in 2018, Starwood Real Estate Income Trust (SREIT) is a perpetual-life, non-listed REIT that brings institutional-caliber real estate investing within reach of a broader investor universe. SREIT targets high-quality, stabilized, income-producing properties across primary and secondary markets in the U.S. and Europe — with a deliberate focus on sectors defined by durable fundamentals and long-term demand. Backed by the full sourcing, underwriting, and asset management infrastructure of Starwood Capital Group, SREIT offers individual investors access to a caliber of real estate that has historically been the exclusive domain of institutions.

A hotel brand management company with approximately 4,000 employees, Starwood Hotels is the force behind some of the world’s most groundbreaking and dynamic hotel brands, including 1 Hotels, Baccarat Hotels and Treehouse Hotels. Leveraging marketing, design, operational, and technological expertise, Starwood Hotels provides significant proprietary investment opportunities and helps enhance the performance of fund hotel investments, including assisting our in-house design and hotel operations experts.

Highmark Residential is Starwood Capital Group’s wholly-owned, in-house multifamily property management platform — and one of the largest apartment operators in the United States. Managing a nationally diversified portfolio of market-rate and affordable communities across high-growth markets, Highmark serves as the operational backbone of Starwood’s multifamily investment strategy.

The platform’s vertically integrated structure — spanning leasing, capital improvements, and resident experience — generates proprietary market intelligence that no third-party manager can replicate, translating directly into stronger asset performance and better returns for investors.

This platform focuses on scaling Starwood’s global data center investments, leveraging synergies across continents to meet the growing demand for digital infrastructure while driving future growth in this high-potential sector.

Starwood Ventures is Starwood Capital Group’s venture and growth investment platform — built on a simple premise: exceptional founders solving consequential problems deserve more than capital. They deserve a partner. SCV invests selectively across sectors and stages, from inception through pre-IPO, backing only a handful of companies each year. When we invest, we commit fully — bringing the resources, relationships, and operating experience of a $130 billion global platform to bear on behalf of founders who are building what’s next. SCV’s portfolio spans enterprise software, real estate technology, fintech, and consumer, with investments in companies including Valon, Base Power, and Legora. The entrepreneurial instinct that built Starwood Capital from a single fund into a global institution is the same instinct that drives every investment we make through SCV.

Starwood Oil & Gas invests in conventional and unconventional oil & gas assets in North America. In 2013, the group made a $36 million investment in Northeast Natural Energy to fund the Charleston, WV-based company’s acreage acquisition and development program in one of the most prolific areas of the Marcellus Shale. In 2015, the team led a $110 million investment in EagleRidge Energy, a Dallas-based oil & gas producer focused on one of the lowest-cost natural gas shale plays in Texas. In 2017, the group led a $50 million investment in Ventana Exploration and Production to acquire non-operating working interests and minerals in the prolific STACK and SCOOP basins in Central Oklahoma. Leveraging its industry knowledge and extensive transactional experience, Starwood Oil & Gas is well-positioned to capitalize on the dramatic transformation of the energy sector.
