G4 Capital Partners, a New York City-based real estate investment firm, announced that industry veteran Larry Grantham has joined the firm. Grantham will lead its capital formation and West Coast expansion as senior managing director.
Grantham brings decades of experience in commercial real estate lending and investment management, having built longstanding relationships across institutional and high-net-worth capital partners globally. He has collaborated with pension systems, insurance companies, endowments, RIAs and asset managers. Most recently, he served as co-founder and portfolio manager of Calmwater Capital, where over 15 years he oversaw $4 billion in commercial real estate credit investments. Prior to that, Grantham held senior investment roles at a Fortress credit joint venture and a large single-family office.
“Larry’s decision to join G4 represents a unique moment for our firm,” said Jason Behfarin, co-founder and co-managing partner of G4. “He is a seasoned credit investor, and we appreciate his approach, judgment and institutional perspective. His leadership significantly enhances our ability to scale thoughtfully, deepen relationships with institutional LPs, and continue building on the momentum we’ve established since we launched the G4 platform in 2005.”
In his role at G4, Grantham will oversee new investor relationships, working closely with the firm’s partners on continued growth and diversification of G4’s investors. His expertise with both institutional and high-net-worth investors is poised to strengthen G4’s ability to expand its investor base and support new product development.
Additionally, Grantham will be based in Los Angeles, where he will establish G4’s first West Coast office, extending the firm’s national footprint and enhancing its originations efforts. He will be joined by Andrea Tescon, a director with over eight years of relevant experience, who will support investor relations initiatives.
Over its two-decade history, G4 has completed $5.8 billion in transactions.
