In this episode of Sky’s the Limit, Mike Doherty sits down with David Saxe, Co-Founder and Managing Principal at Calvera Partners, to dive deep into building a real estate investment firm from the ground up.

David shares how he transitioned from working with Sam Zell’s Equity Office to co-founding Calvera, which has now completed over $575 million in transactions across apartments, retail, offices, and hotels. They discuss how Calvera evolved from small rent-controlled buildings in the Bay Area to raising $100M+ private funds, why Calvera prefers private equity over REIT structures, and how David’s team is navigating today’s real estate cycles across the Bay Area and Sunbelt markets.

If you want real insights on fundraising, private REITs, market strategy, and the real realities of scaling a real estate firm, this episode is a must-listen!

👉 Tune in now to hear how David built Calvera Partners—and where he’s placing bets in today’s market!
