Since its inception, Arel Capital has acquired, improved, developed and/or financed more than 70 properties in eleven U.S. markets, representing more than $2 billion worth of real estate. Arel Capital has realized more than 43 transactions, returning its investors about $1 billion, including $200+ million for loans/preferred equity.

Co-founders Richard Leibovitch and Gabriel Bousbib have worked together for more than 25 years, managing hedge fund and real-estate investments.

Investments are made either through single asset vehicles or focused multi-asset theme funds.

Long term, real-estate assets, particularly multi-family properties in the United States, represent a compelling investment opportunity, considering favorable demographic trends, value protection in inflationary environments, stable cash flow generation and resiliency during recessionary periods.

Short term, Arel expects some volatility and is focused on more opportunistic and/or tax driven transactions.
