Northmarq Merges With Morrison Street Capital
In one swift move involving two transactions, Northmarq will be expanding into the investment management and advisory sectors.
In the first deal, Northmarq will merge with investment management company Morrison Street Capital. Upon closing, the Oregon-based firm will be renamed as Northmarq Fund Management.
Alongside the merger, Northmarq is also acquiring NBS Real Estate Consulting, a boutique business affiliate of Morrison Street Capital. The company will continue to provide real estate advisory services as Northmarq Advisory Services.
The Morrison Street Fund series, made up of three closed-end funds and one open-end investment vehicle, will continue to run under the same management post-merger. The Morrison Street Capital team will remain in Lake Oswego, Ore.
