The Miami Family Office

The Miami Family Office is a single-family office based in the United States, primarily focused on direct investments in real estate and operating businesses. Established in 2015, the firm actively seeks opportunities to acquire portfolios of real estate assets and operating companies, while also considering significant one-off assets. Their investment mandate emphasizes a patient capital approach, aiming to preserve and grow the family's wealth through strategic co-investments and direct ownership. The firm currently manages a portfolio valued in excess of $500 million, comprising over 100 assets.

The foundation of The Miami Family Office's wealth was built by its anonymous Chairman and Patriarch, A.S.H., a first-generation wealth creator. After a successful career in the technology industry, the Chairman began by acquiring a single retail location, which he expanded into a portfolio of twenty-five locations. He later bought out his partners and acquired an additional 300 retail locations. This substantial portfolio was eventually sold for over $500 million, generating more than $300 million in liquidity for the family. This entrepreneurial journey underscores the firm's hands-on approach and expertise in scaling businesses with underlying real estate components.

The firm's existing portfolio includes a diverse range of assets such as 93 commercial real estate properties, 19 fuel stations, and land banks in the western United States. They are actively looking to expand their real estate holdings to include multi-family apartment building portfolios, self-storage development opportunities, parking garages, hospitality/hotel assets, and operating businesses with significant real estate components. While specific portfolio companies are not publicly disclosed, their focus is on acquiring established assets and businesses rather than early-stage venture capital investments.

The Miami Family Office is led by a dedicated team, including CEO Richard C. Wilson, who is also the founder of the Family Office Club, a prominent association for family office professionals. Douglas Scott serves as the Reporting Manager, screening potential co-investors and joint-venture partners. Tyler McNicholas is the Executive Recruiter, responsible for building the firm's team, and Rafael Tassini is the Data Analyst, focusing on research for direct investment activities. The team's collective expertise spans technology, business management, real estate, and data analysis, supporting the firm's direct investment strategy.
