Crow Holdings

Crow Family Holdings was formed as a family office to own and manage the capital of the Trammell Crow family. It was founded in 1991 and is based in Dallas, Texas.[1] Today, Crow Family Holdings has a substantial stake in the ownership of various businesses, both real estate and non-real estate related. Their holdings also include significant, diversified positions in financial investments. They control $2 billion in investments, according to their chief operating officer, Susan T. Groenteman. [2]

Business

While Crow Family Holdings has interests in numerous diversified investment activities, real estate is their foundation. Trammell Crow began a career of real estate development at the end of World War II. Since that time his family has had a prominent role as developers and investors in the U.S. and international real estate markets and has always embraced long-term partnerships.[2] Crow Family Holdings has been an active investor in industrial, office, retail, mart, land, hotel and residential real estate businesses in the United States, Europe and South America. Although real estate is its foundation, Crow Family Holdings has numerous and varied investment activities, including an investment portfolio with substantial stakes in privately held operating businesses and financial assets. Crow Family Holdings does not provide investment advisory services to any persons other than Crow family members and their affiliates.

Management team

The Crow Family Holdings includes Harlan Crow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Anne Raymond, President of Crow Holdings Capital & Managing Director of Crow Holdings.[2] Kirk Rimer is the co-head of Crow Holdings Capital – Investment Partners.[3] Michael R. Silverman is the Principal, Chief Investment Officer at Crow Holdings Capital.[4]
