SAN FRANCISCO (June 24, 2014) – In a move that presages a powerful new partnership in California commercial real estate investment and development, a joint venture between JMA Ventures, LLC and The Roxborough Group, LLC, participated as a minority investor in the recently announced acquisition of The Bay Club Company led by controlling majority shareholder York Capital Management.
This acquisition marks the first major joint transaction between JMA and Roxborough, a firm that was founded last year by Marc Perrin after 16 years as a senior partner at Starwood Capital Group. JMA Ventures, a San Francisco-based investment and real estate development company headed by president and CEO Todd Chapman, serves as general partner and master developer for more than $1.5 billion of real estate related investments across the western United States, with a focus on hospitality, leisure, sports, lifestyle and entertainment venues.
“Marc Perrin and I are very pleased to be working together on unique investment opportunities and we are both excited to have the Bay Club be one of the first of what we hope will be many investments together,” said Chapman. “Marc brings several decades of institutional real estate and corporate investment experience with him that strongly complements our creative and entrepreneurial investment culture at JMA.”
Added Marc Perrin, managing partner of The Roxborough Group, “This investment is a great opportunity to inaugurate Roxborough’s relationship with JMA Ventures and combine my background investing in real estate and leisure businesses with JMA’s proven expertise in managing and developing premier lifestyle destinations.”
Founded by Perrin in 2013, The Roxborough Group is a privately held real estate investment firm headquartered in San Francisco, focusing on opportunities in value add and transitional real estate assets, real estate related operating businesses, and high quality, longer duration real estate investments.
