NORTHWOOD INVESTORS LLC


A. Description of Firm and Principal Owners
Northwood is an SEC-registered investment advisor, founded in 2006 by its President and Chief Executive Officer, John Z. Kukral. Since inception, ownership and control of Northwood has been retained by Mr. Kukral.
B. Description of Advisory Services
Northwood specializes in real-estate related investments. Northwood provides these services to its clients: privately-offered, pooled investment vehicles (collectively, the “Funds”) and a separate account mandate (“Separate Account”). Northwood invests client assets into individual real estate assets, multi-property portfolios, joint ventures, operating companies, or the public securities of real estate-related companies. Investments may be made in various parts of the capital structure, including equity, preferred equity, debt, participating debt, and other financial structures which are consistent with clients’ investment objectives. Northwood is responsible for identifying, underwriting, and effecting investments for its clients. Northwood develops a comprehensive investment thesis and management plan for each prospective investment and attempts to generate value for investors by improving the management, operations, financing, and characteristics of the assets it purchases on behalf of its clients. In most cases, Northwood uses affiliated property management teams (the “Property Management Affiliates”) to manage the investments Northwood has made on behalf of its clients. Property management services include supervising, directing and controlling the day-to-day management and operations of properties, hiring and supervising employees at the property, and such other services as necessary to manage the property. Property Management Affiliates provide these services for a fee, pursuant to a contractual agreement. Each Property Management Affiliate focuses on a specific real estate sector and employs personnel with meaningful experience in that sector. Northwood’s Property Management Affiliates include:
• Northwood Hospitality LLC,
• Northwood Retail LLC,
• Northwood Office LLC, and
• Northwood Residential LLC. Northwood recognizes conflicts of interest exist when using an affiliated service provider. The Funds’ limited partnership agreements dictate that the terms of any engagement with an affiliate can be no less favorable to the Fund than it would be using a comparable, unaffiliated third party. Northwood believes the benefits of using these affiliates outweigh the conflicts and has taken steps to mitigate concerns. Northwood believes the use of affiliates results in better alignment of interests, efficiencies in communication, focused number of properties under management, and economic reporting efficiencies. In addition to these benefits, Northwood believes the conflicts associated with using affiliated property management companies are mitigated by treating the net income of the Property Management Affiliates as an offset to the fund management fee paid by limited partners. Northwood believe this approach effectively makes the use of affiliated service providers less costly than using unaffiliated service providers, for which there would be no fee offset. As the Separate Account is non-discretionary and account owners have the ability to dictate service providers used, there is no management fee offset when using affiliated service providers. On occasion, Northwood provides opportunities to co-invest in portfolio investments of the Funds. Northwood does not offer co-investment opportunities with respect to all portfolio investments of the Funds and, when co-investment opportunities exist, may allocate any such opportunities in its sole discretion. Northwood has a standing co-investment vehicle into which existing limited partners have been offered an opportunity to participate. To date, investment opportunities for which there are co-investment opportunities have principally been allocated to that standing co-investment vehicle. In the event a prospective investment exceeds the investment capacity for the Funds and the standing co- investment vehicle, additional co-investors could be sought. In allocating co-investment opportunities to those additional co-investors, Northwood would consider many factors when identifying co-investment partners, including: the size or timing of investor commitments to the Funds, other potential investments then being considered by the Funds, investment concentration with respect to the Funds, the liquidity needs and obligations of the Funds, nature of the transaction, speed of execution required, tax considerations, the strategic value of a particular investor co-investing in the opportunity in question and similar items. In all cases, Northwood, in its sole discretion, would determine the most reasonable co-investors to work with and would always attempt to allocate opportunities in the most fair and equitable manner. Northwood has not and does not intend to offer Fund co-investment opportunities to the Separate Account.
C. Tailoring Advisory Services to Individual Needs
Northwood only tailors the Funds’ advisory services to comply with the requirements set forth in the relevant governing and offering documents. Investment advice is provided directly to each vehicle and not to the vehicles’ individual investors. As such, investors generally cannot negotiate Northwood’s investment activities to meet their individual needs. However, limited partners may request non-participation in types of investments that could conflict with regulatory/statutory or ideological restrictions of the investor. Such requests are approved or denied at the sole discretion of the general partner of a Fund (the “General Partner”) and will be memorialized in side-letter agreements negotiated at the time of subscription. Owners the Separate Account have tailored the specific services provided by Northwood.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Northwood does not participate in wrap fee programs.
E. Assets under Management
As of December 31, 2018, Northwood managed approximately $6,544,054,296 on a discretionary basis. This amount represents the fair market value of the Funds’ assets and the uncalled capital commitments of the Funds’ investors. Northwood manages approximately $449,212,500 on a non-discretionary basis. please register to get more info
