Forte Capital Management has executed more than $500MM in transactional volume across retail, industrial, medical office, boutique office, residential, and commercial real estate, almost entirely sourced off-market through direct seller relationships built across a decade-plus operating in the Miami metro and the Southeast.
Forte does not chase listed deals or compete in capped broker auctions. The pipeline is built on direct seller relationships sourced by Chaim Cahane and Director of Acquisitions Dov Tepper across South Florida, Jacksonville, and the broader Southeast. Capital partners participate alongside Forte at the operating level on the next acquisitions in the pipeline.
The majority of Forte acquisitions are sourced off-market through relationships built across a decade operating inside South Florida. That sourcing edge sits outside of the listed broker channel and outside of the institutional comp set, which is where pricing discipline begins.
Acquisitions, underwriting, financing, asset management, and disposition all sit inside the same operating team under the same principals. There is no third-party property manager, no allocator middle layer, and no fund-of-funds wrapper between investor capital and the asset.
Most South Florida sponsors specialize in one asset class. Forte underwrites and operates across six because the off-market pipeline does not arrive in a single vertical, and operating expertise across asset classes is what allows the firm to act on the best deal in any given quarter.
Chaim Cahane began in the Lincoln Building, became one of the most active dealmakers at Hunter Realty in NYC, then moved the operation to South Florida. Dov Tepper joined from Rosewood Realty Group in Manhattan. The Forte underwriting standard is built on NYC institutional discipline applied to the Sunbelt opportunity set.
A representative slice of the Forte Capital Management portfolio. Concentrated in Miami metro core submarkets — Wynwood, Edgewater, Miami Beach, Plantation, Hollywood, Pompano Beach — with an established Jacksonville presence and out-of-state footprint in PA and NJ.
Forte's portfolio sits at the center of the largest sustained domestic migration, corporate relocation, and high-net-worth household formation event in any US metro since 2020. The Forte operating thesis is to own the buildings these households and businesses are using right now, sourced before the market sees them.
The Forte playbook traces back to one of NYC's most active brokerage desks in the early 2000s, then to a privately held vertically integrated operating company with a 20-property Sunbelt portfolio.
