Jamestown Invest And AltoIRA Announce New Partnership

ATLANTA, Oct, 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jamestown Invest, a Reg A+ online real estate investment vehicle sponsored by Jamestown, a leading global real estate investment and management company, today announced a partnership with AltoIRA, a technology platform that simplifies and streamlines the process for investors to add alternative assets to their IRAs. The partnership gives retail investors a unique opportunity to diversify their portfolios by accessing and investing in private equity real estate with their tax-advantaged IRAs.

Jamestown Invest’s approach to real estate investing is centered on mixed or single-use properties incorporating office, retail, multifamily, for-sale residential, parking, unimproved land, warehouse/flex, or hotels. Since its launch in December 2019, Jamestown Invest has acquired a majority stake in Southern Dairies, a historic five-building, 79,000+ square foot creative office campus in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. Located just steps away from Jamestown’s Ponce City Market and the BeltLine Eastside Trail, the former dairy distribution plant now houses a diversified tenant mix including architectural, advertising, and real estate firms.

“Our partnership with Jamestown Invest highlights our commitment to providing retail investors with a range of diversified long-term investment opportunities,” said AltoIRA Founder and CEO Eric Satz. “Concerns about stock market volatility and a weakening economy are driving demand for real estate investments from new and experienced investors. Jamestown Invest’s unique commercial real estate properties give our investors more options for their IRA investments.”

“Jamestown Invest was launched in recognition of increasing demand from the self-directed investment community,” said Matt Bronfman, a principal and CEO of Jamestown. “The vehicle focuses on producing exceptional risk-adjusted returns while also building communities, an important characteristic for today’s generation of investors. We’re excited to leverage the strength of AltoIRA to extend our offering to its community of investors and look forward to developing a strong partnership going forward.”

Jamestown Invest is an online direct-to-consumer investment vehicle that allows American individuals the opportunity to invest in real estate for a minimum of $2,500. Backed by Jamestown’s 37-year track record of investing and managing real estate, the fund focuses on the acquisition of value-add properties in urban locations with potential for repositioning or redevelopment.
