Cannon Hill Investment Management, LLC (“Cannon Hill”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the
“Firm”), is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 30, 2022, as a result of a
management-led buyout of the investment management business of Columbia Property Trust,
Inc. (“Columbia”), its former parent company. Cannon Hill (formerly known as Columbia
Real Estate Management, LLC, and prior to that, and Normandy Real Estate Management,
LLC) is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(“Advisers Act”), as amended, and is a private real estate investment company with its
principal place of business in New York, NY. The Firm’s original registration as an investment
adviser was approved in 2013, and the Firm has been in business since 2002. Cannon Hill also
acquired the general partner interests and investment management rights for certain real
estate private funds and accounts from Columbia. Cannon Hill is owned by Cannon Hill
Capital Partners LLC whose beneficial owners are Jeffrey Gronning, Melissa Donohoe, and
Eric Rubin (“Senior Management”) and five other senior team members, who continue to
lead the real estate investment advisory services and management of the Firm.
The Firm provides investment management services to closed end, fully discretionary private
investment funds that are typically structured as limited partnerships and limited liability
companies (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds” ). A Cannon Hill affiliate acts as the
general partner to each fund (each a “General Partner” and, together, the “General
Partners”).
Cannon Hill pursues growth through a value-added investment strategy through equity and
debt real estate / real property investments primarily focused on acquiring, improving,
repositioning, and developing best-in-class office, multi-family, industrial and life sciences
properties located in central business districts and transit-served submarkets of New York
City, Boston, and Washington, D.C.
Further, Cannon Hill and its affiliates operate related businesses providing commercial
development and construction, leasing, property management, property accounting and other
such real-estate related services to Fund real estate holdings.
In accordance with common industry practice, a General Partner may enter into one or more
“side letters” or similar agreements with certain limited
partners pursuant to which the
General Partner grants to such limited partners specific rights, benefits, or privileges (e.g.,
supplemental reporting and information rights and special economic rights) that are not made
available to limited partners generally. Absent any agreement to the contrary, the General
Partner, on behalf of the Fund, is not required to notify any or all of the other limited partners
of any such side letters or any of the rights or terms or provisions thereof, nor is the General
Partner required to offer such additional or different rights or terms to any or all of the other
limited partners.
Further, a General Partner may, but will be under no obligation to, provide in its sole discretion
co-investment opportunities to Priority Co-Investors (if applicable and as defined below),
limited partners and/or third parties (each, a “Co-Investor”) where the General Partner
determines that it is in the Fund’s best interest to make only a portion of an investment.
If the General Partner decides to offer a co-investment opportunity to Co-Investors, it shall
generally offer it (i) first to the Priority Co-Investors, if applicable, on a pro rata basis, (ii) if
the Priority Co-Investors do not commit to the entire co-investment opportunity, then to the
remaining limited partners on a pro rata basis, and (iii) if the limited partners do not commit
to the entire co-investment opportunity, then to other Co-Investors in the General Partner’s
sole discretion.
“Priority Co-Investors” means (i) limited partners who are admitted to the Fund on the date
of the Initial Closing (“Initial Closing Partners”) and (ii) any limited partners whose aggregate
commitment is equal to or greater than $75 million (including if such commitment may
automatically be increased by the General Partner without any further action of such limited
partner).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund may invest side-by-side with a limited partner without
providing co-investment opportunities to other investors in instances where such limited
partner provides investment opportunities, operating capabilities or other strategic or
competitive opportunities or advantages.
As of December 31, 2023 Cannon Hill managed approximately $84,318,091 of regulatory
assets under management on a discretionary basis. The Firm does not manage regulatory
assets under management on a non-discretionary basis.
