On November 15–16, 2023, more than 40 leading voices across U.S. multifamily real estate will gather virtually at NCC IQ’s “ReInvested: Navigating Growth, Risk, and Return in U.S. Multifamily Real Estate.” This two-day event brings together CEOs, investors, developers, operators, and policy leaders to examine strategies shaping one of the most dynamic asset classes in commercial real estate.
Among the distinguished speakers, John Azar, Founder and Managing Partner of Peak 15 Capital, will deliver a keynote session on November 15, 4:00-4:30 PM EST. His presentation, “Alternative Capital Sources and CoGP Funding,” will provide a forward-looking perspective on how investors and sponsors can strengthen deal structures and broaden their access to capital.

Why Alternative Capital and CoGP Funding Matter
Multifamily investors and developers are increasingly seeking diverse sources of capital beyond traditional equity and debt structures. Alternative sources — such as family offices, private credit funds, international investors, and high-net-worth individuals, play an expanding role in funding acquisitions, ground-up developments, and recapitalizations.
CoGP (Co-General Partner) funding is another strategic layer. For sponsors, it addresses one of the most pressing barriers: raising sufficient GP capital to participate meaningfully in their own deals. For investors, it creates exposure to strong operators while aligning interests across the capital stack. Azar’s session will highlight how these structures work, when they are most effective, and how they impact deal-level economics and investor relationships.
