We invest in unique, inefficient and dislocated opportunities.
What We Do
Identify Opportunities
Founded in 2007, Speedwagon Capital Partners began as a distressed investor during the global financial crisis—an environment that shaped our opportunistic and value-driven approach. We continue to focus on overlooked, misunderstood, underperforming, or distressed opportunities where value can be created through the strategic use of our experience, network, and balance sheet.
Investing
Our investing philosophy is built on alignment and discipline. We commit meaningful firm capital alongside our partners, making sure our interests are always directly tied to theirs. This approach creates accountability, sharpens our decision-making, and reinforces our conviction in every investment. Over time, it has enabled us to consistently turn opportunities into strong results for both our partners and the firm.
Executing
With over 80 years of combined experience across market cycles, our team knows what it takes to unlock value. We have operated, developed, financed, and repositioned assets across every major real estate sector, giving us the perspective to navigate complexity and act decisively. Execution means bringing that experience to bear and realizing outcomes that others can't.
What We Look For
Unique Opportunities
We pursue special situations where our network and resources unlock value and turn complexity into opportunity.
Partner Alignment
We partner with investors who share our passion for mitigating downside risk first, ensuring strong alignment and a disciplined focus on long-term value creation.
Story-Focused Investments
We invest in the narrative behind each opportunity, prioritizing its unique potential over asset class or industry labels.
Team
We are process-driven entrepreneurs with a passion for uncovering opportunities and creating value, backed by a career spanning acquisitions, operations, and finance.
