Headgate Real Estate Partners is a real estate private equity firm employing a disciplined value-creation focus across a wide spectrum of commercial and residential real estate investment opportunities in Texas. Pairing its thorough knowledge of the real estate industry with a unique understanding of the overall capital markets, Headgate creates significant value for its financial partners, tenants, and corporate users. Headgate was founded in 2010 by Adam Gates and Alan Schoellkopf.
The professionals at Headgate have significant expertise in all facets of the real estate industry, including acquisition and disposition, debt and equity financing, project leasing/marketing and asset management, and land and building development. Since the start of their careers, the principals at Headgate have developed an excellent reputation in the real estate industry for being able to implement opportunistic investment strategies at the very beginning of a particular market cycle or trend. Headgate’s principals have consistently demonstrated their ability to adapt investment strategies to monetize asset values and exit/sell as certain cycles and trends mature.
Philosophy
The firm strongly adheres to an active buy-sell philosophy within an ever-changing portfolio of real estate investments. Once certain value-creation strategies are implemented and target returns are achieved, assets are typically sold or recapitalized. Headgate typically targets investments with value-creation time horizons and holding periods ranging from three to five years. Investment opportunities with shorter or longer holding periods are also selectively considered.
Experience
Headgate Real Estate Partners’ two founding principals bring to bear over 45 years of combined real estate investment and development experience. Their successful tenures at marquee investment firms such as Stonelake Capital Partners, Archon Group, ProLogis, Lincoln Property Company, Champion Partners, Koll Development, and Cypress Real Estate Advisors have allowed them to corroborate best practices from some of the industry's finest firms. The principal's strong capital markets expertise, extensive transaction experience and long-established contacts in the financial and real estate communities enable Headgate to structure investments in a manner that optimizes values on entry, during management and at exit. The team is committed to identifying, pricing and mitigating risk throughout the investment process.
