Atlanta-based residential developer Trilogy Investment Co. (TIC) has opened an office in Manhattan, New York, in a move it says will allow it to connect with institutional investors and grow its structured-credit platform. 

“Our expansion to New York is a pivotal step in Trilogy’s growth,” TIC CEO and Managing Partner Jason Joseph said in a press release. “Having a presence in one of the world’s financial hubs allows us to enhance our institutional partnerships, expand our investment strategies and further support homebuilders through our credit platform.” 

The New York office, which is located in the Tower 49 building at 12 E 49th St. in Midtown Manhattan, comes as TIC pursues other paths for growth. In February, the company announced the acquisition of local homebuilder Blue River Communities, which it integrated into its new homebuilding unit, Rêve Homes. 

In October, TIC appointed David Beare as managing director for structured credit and investments at Trilogy Credit Group, its investment and finance unit. Beare also serves as executive vice president for investments and structured credit at TIC.   

“What we do at Trilogy is look at the highest and best use of an asset and investment,” Beare said. “It’s really about aligning with investors with a similar vision and creating something scalable and repeatable. New York offers unparalleled access to capital and strategic partnerships to fuel Trilogy’s next growth phase.”
