Meet Our New Capital Raising Team Members

As we expand our investor audience and work to better serve our current investors, we are proud to highlight three team members who joined our capital raising team in 2021.

“Expanding our team with exceptional talent ensures that we can continue to provide excellent service to our investors as we expand our investor base and target markets,” says Todd Williams, chief investment officer at Grubb Properties.

The team members are focused on fundraising for Grubb Properties’ two investment funds in the marketplace: Grubb Real Estate Fund VII (Fund VII) and the 2021 Grubb Qualified Opportunity Fund. They have already made significant contributions to the fundraising team, and we expect continued achievements as we grow our resilient Essential Housing strategy through these funds.
