Private Investment & Advisory Office
Investing with Intent Operating with Excellence
Focusing on Real Estate, Supporting Sectors, and Old-School Businesses.
We believe in value creation and long-term partnerships toward mutual goals.
Skywave was founded in 2017 as a private vehicle to hold real estate, operating businesses, and LP positions in selective funds across North America.
We combine traditional investment discipline with a modern operating mindset. Technology, efficiency, process improvement, and scalability are important parts of how we think about building and growing our investments.
Our approach is built on trust and practical execution. We continue to evolve through selective investments and partnerships, looking for opportunities where capital, experience, and strategic thinking can create lasting value.
Our real estate activity has included residential portfolios, acquisitions, renovations, repositioning, land opportunities, and partnering in larger development-related ventures. We have been involved in both direct ownership and partnership-based transactions, including opportunities requiring underwriting, coordination, and active asset management on our side.
Beyond real estate, we have participated in private ventures, lending opportunities, fund investments, and specialized sectors connected to long-term market themes. This experience has provided exposure to different risk profiles, operating models, and capital structures.
Our history reflects a practical, flexible investment approach shaped by experience across multiple markets and transaction types.
