Mark Moshayedi and Ryan Gallagher have joined forces to launch Space Investment Partners, an Irvine-based commercial real estate operating company. Space Investment Partners, a fully-integrated real estate investment, development and management firm, will look to take advantage of the significant changes that are going to impact commercial real estate over the next five to 10 years.
Moshayedi is a serial entrepreneur who has created hundreds of millions of dollars in enterprise value through companies he has built. Gallagher spent the last eight and a half years as a senior managing director and co-head of the Orange County office at HFF. David Hirsh, a former Blackstone executive, will join them taking on the role of senior advisor. Combined Moshayedi, Gallagher, and Hirsch have more than 60 years of experience representing the largest owners of real estate in the country completing over $47 billion in transactions across office, retail, industrial, hotel and apartments throughout the U.S.
According to the company founders, technology, demographics and migration patterns will affect every product type including office, retail, industrial and multi-housing. Moshayedi and Gallagher cite examples in every sector: retail is being dislocated; e-commerce is driving an industrial boom; and millennial migration patterns across the US are pushing multi-housing rents to record levels and forcing cities to rethink densities and affordability. The partners also note that companies are facing fierce competition for S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) talent and desperately trying to identify buildings and locations that will attract the next generation of workers.
While at HFF, Gallagher was responsible for leading the firm’s investment sale efforts in Southern California for office product and overseeing the firm’s investment sale practice for office, retail, industrial, and net lease product in Orange County. Ryan was also part of the firm’s Leadership Team, and a standing member on the Strategic Transactions Team which deals with the firm’s largest and most high-profile assignments. Ryan has completed over $16 bil in transactions over his career in Office, Retail, Industrial, and apartment assets across the Southwestern U.S.
Hirsh is a sophisticated real estate investor with more than 30 years of experience across all major real estate product types in most major U.S. markets. Over the course of his career, David has completed in excess of $30 bil in transactions and has developed a broad set of skills including: portfolio management, leasing, asset sales/dispositions, lending and workouts/restructuring.
