Catalyst Launches Florida-Focused Real Estate Private Equity Fund

Catalyst Capital Management has launched a new real estate private equity fund, Catalyst Capital Fund, LLC.

The Fund is taking a direct aim at the shortage of quality, affordable workforce housing in Florida’s fastest-growing counties, where demand is high but affordable housing stock is limited due to historically low housing starts and prohibitively high costs of land and construction.

The Fund will be managed by Catalyst Capital Management, a Miami-based, investment management firm. Catalyst’s is focused on redeveloping affordably priced homes in supply-constrained urban-infill markets throughout Florida.

“The demand for entry-level priced homes creates a pre-heated market for our assets,” said Andres McBeth, managing partner at Catalyst. “It’s a compelling risk/reward proposition. Our fund structure matches our target assets – short duration and high velocity – it’s a perfect fit, for short term-oriented investors in today’s market environment.”
