Big River Marine

At Big River Real Estate, we pride ourselves on our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our investors and partners. Our journey began in 2003 as the RP Mallery Group, a regionally active commercial real estate firm specializing in deal-by-deal syndication. Over the years, we've evolved to become a private equity real estate fund sponsor and manager, with a total current and sold market value of approximately $110 Million in assets as of January 2021.

At the heart of our success lies our experienced and dedicated management team. Our CEO and Fund Manager, Ryan P. Mallery, has been an integral part of the company's activities since its inception. With a strong background in real property ownership, development, management, and financing, Ryan brings a unique perspective to every aspect of our operations. His extensive experience in underwriting and evaluating real estate assets has enabled him to deliver above-average, risk-adjusted investment returns to our investors.

Our Investment Strategy

At Big River, we only invest in things we understand and in areas where we have deep experience. We believe that too many advisors get into complex, expensive, and risky investments, only to be stunned when things don't turn out as expected. Our strategy is centered around delivering value to our investors and partners through focused, disciplined investing in markets where we have expertise and a deep understanding of the assets we purchase.

Why Invest in a Fund?

Private equity funds have traditionally been the most attractive format for gaining exposure to private real estate, and are superior to investing in a single building syndication. Funds are focused and built to deliver the traditional benefits of real estate ownership, such as tax sheltered income, low-correlation to other assets, and a hedge against inflation, while providing increased diversification to investors.

Why Invest with Big River?

At Big River Real Estate, we've developed a disciplined and focused investment strategy, and we have a deep understanding of the assets we purchase. Our focus is on value-oriented investing in markets where we have experience and expertise. The benefits of investing with Big River include:

• Our CEO, Ryan Mallery, is directly involved in all material contract negotiations, such as purchase agreements, debt, and leases.
• We establish a strong alignment of interest with our investors by investing material amounts of our own wealth alongside our partners.
• We have a proven and repeatable track record of producing quality risk-adjusted returns from real estate.
• Judicious research, data collection, and analysis of each prospective opportunity informs every part of our decision-making process.
• We provide faster execution than real estate managers who require partner or investor approval for each acquisition.
• Because we're a boutique firm, our clients enjoy direct access to our experienced team, ensuring personalized service and tailored solutions.

Our Vision

At Big River Real Estate, we're committed to delivering exceptional value to our investors and partners. We believe that our unique blend of experience, expertise, and discipline will enable us to continue to grow and succeed in the fast-paced world of real estate investment.
