Menlo has a variety of real estate investment platforms including an Evergreen income-focused fund, value-add funds, ground-up developments, and a datacenter fund as well as individual syndicated investments. As our lead associate, I played a lead role in the financial underwriting and analysis of all asset-and fund-level strategic decisions including new acquisitions, developments, financings, dispositions, and asset-management decisions.
