Overview

Cantor Fitzgerald reaches the 1031 market through Cantor Fitzgerald Investors, leveraging the global capital-markets and brokerage muscle of its 1945-founded parent and its Newmark affiliation to source institutional-quality DSTs and feed its non-traded Cantor Fitzgerald Income Trust. With roughly $13 billion under management at Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management as of early 2024 and a portfolio approaching 12 million square feet across multifamily and net-lease assets, the franchise blends investment-bank sourcing with an UPREIT exit path. Its Opportunity Zone partnership with Silverstein Properties extends the platform into ground-up development, broadening the tax-advantaged menu it can offer.

Key strategies & advantages

  • Leverages its 1945-founded parent's capital-markets muscle and Newmark affiliation to source institutional DSTs.
  • Operates the non-traded Cantor Fitzgerald Income Trust, offering an UPREIT exit path.
  • Manages ~$13 billion at Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management across ~12 million square feet.
  • Spans multifamily, industrial, office, retail and life-sciences DSTs.
  • Extends into Opportunity Zone development via its Silverstein partnership.
These describe the sponsor’s approach and potential advantages only, and should be weighed against the risks common to DST investments — illiquidity, loss of principal, and no guaranteed distributions. Full risk factors are in each offering’s Private Placement Memorandum.
