A real estate private equity firm focused on making multifamily value-add investments in the Northeas

A real estate private equity firm focused on making multifamily value-add investments in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region of the US.

06/02/2026

Lucern Founder & Managing Partner David Hansel recently joined industry leaders at the Offshore Wealth Summit in Bradley Beach as a featured speaker.

A few themes stood out:

1 | Investor appetite continues to shift beyond traditional multifamily, with a growing focus on diversification, durable cash flow, and downside protection in today’s environment.

2 | At the same time, small bay industrial remains a compelling area of interest, supported by tenant diversity, constrained supply, and resilient local demand fundamentals.

3 | As the market evolves, the conversation is becoming less about chasing yield and more about building portfolios designed to perform through cycles.

Thank you to Wealth Summit for having us. Have a question? Reach out to David Hansel at [email protected].

Most investors would have passed on Crosslake Business Park.

It was fully occupied and cash flow was stable. On the surface, it looked like a “done” deal.

But at Lucern Capital Partners, we look deeper.

By identifying below-market rents, inefficient lease structures, and overlooked opportunities for additional income, we transformed this asset into a higher-performing investment without taking on unnecessary risk.

If you’re evaluating industrial real estate or looking to better understand value-add strategies in today’s market, this case study is worth a read.

Active asset management isn’t just about strategy, it’s about showing up.

At Lucern Capital Partners, we believe real value is created on the ground: walking properties, understanding operations firsthand, and most importantly, meeting and listening to tenants.

Tenants are the best source of insight into how a building is truly performing. Their feedback often reveals what financials alone can’t, friction points, opportunities for improvement, and signals on long-term demand.

That perspective drives how we manage every asset: stay close, stay engaged, and make decisions based on what’s actually happening inside the property.

At Lucern, rent collection, maintenance requests, and day-to-day tenant interactions flow directly through the team instead of being filtered through third parties. That alone brings real-time operational visibility into much sharper focus.

Small things start to stand out. A spike in service requests. A tenant paying a little later than usual. Recurring issues in one part of a building. On their own, they’re easy to overlook. Together, they start to tell a story early.

That’s the real value of keeping operations close, not just reviewing reports after the fact, but staying close enough to the details to understand where operations stand in real time.

Lucern Capital Partners focuses on one core idea: disciplined, hands-on investing in markets where operational ex*****on drives real value.

Founded in 2016 and based in Red Bank, NJ, the firm targets multi-tenant and light industrial real estate across high-growth East Coast and Southeast markets, seeking under-managed assets where active management can unlock long-term performance.

David Hansel and Frank Forte lead the firm with a strategic approach. David oversees capital formation and investor strategy, while Frank leads acquisitions, asset management, and financing, both bringing deep experience across investing, lending, and operations.

Together, they’ve built a strategy centered on institutional discipline, local market insight, and active ownership, focused on creating durable, risk-adjusted returns through real ex*****on on the ground.

Multi-tenant real estate performance is driven by day-to-day decisions, consistent oversight, and a willingness to invest where it matters most. By staying closely connected to each of our assets, we can respond quickly to opportunities, improve operations, enhance the tenant experience, and support long-term performance.

At North Graham Business Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, that strategy is reflected in a recent round of property improvements. We completed both interior and exterior upgrades, including pressure washing, fresh paint, refinished railings, and roof enhancements. These projects were completed with a clear objective to strengthen the property’s competitive position, support tenant satisfaction, and protect value for years to come.
