The firm is a special situations investor, continuously adapting its strategy throughout market cycles to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. As of the first quarter of 2024, Corten Real Estate had regulatory assets under management exceeding $500 million. Notable investments include a strategic venture with Provenance Hotels, where they acquired a 50 percent ownership stake in eight hotels across the United States, and the successful exit of a preferred equity investment in the Sheraton Imperial Hotel Raleigh-Durham.
