Cohen & Steers, Inc. announced the formation of the Cohen & Steers Private Real Estate Group, a team purpose-built for private real estate investing. The Private Real Estate Group broadens the firm's opportunity set to include the $15 trillion U.S. commercial real estate market that is private, representing more than 90% of the U.S. market not owned by listed REITs. The new capability will enhance the firm's range of real estate strategies and its ability to provide clients with bespoke solutions. The private team is led by James S. Corl, Executive Vice President. Mr. Corl rejoins Cohen & Steers after spending the last eleven years as Head of Real Estate at Siguler Guff & Company, LP, where he built a private real estate investment team that raised four dedicated opportunistic real estate private equityfunds and invested $3 billion of capital. Prior to Siguler Guff, he was a key member of the real estate team at Cohen & Steers for eleven years, including four years as CIO of listed real estate. He is joined by: Hamid Tabib, Head of Real Estate Acquisitions, North America (previously on the real estate team at Siguler Guff), Josh Silverman, Principal, Acquisitions (previously at Northwood Investors, a real estate private equityinvestment firm), Jon Rhoden, Senior Associate (previously at Goldman Sachs' Merchant Banking Real Estate group).
