CEO, Steinbridge Group

Tawan Davis is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of The Steinbridge Group, which has structured, executed and invested nearly $1 billion in commercial and residential real estate. Under Mr. Davis’ leadership—which includes managing the investment program and overseeing the day-to-day operations and transaction pipeline—Steinbridge is now investing more than $400 million in the urban single-family home market. The strategy—with a long-term hold commitment—is to acquire and renovate middle income family residences in close proximity to transportation and employment as rental units, helping foster success among working residents in transition neighborhoods. Passionate about making a positive contribution in each neighborhood in which he invests, Mr. Davis works with a dedicated team to supply high quality housing at ‘rent reasonable’ rates in urban settings, while joining with non-profit organizations and local members to form community partnerships in furtherance of these goals. Throughout his career Mr. Davis has held several high-level positions both in the private and public sectors, including as President and CIO of a private developer, as a US and European real estate private equity investor with Prudential Real Estate Investors, as an investment banker Goldman Sachs, and as Head of Public-Private Real Estate Partnerships with the New York City Economic Development Corporation in the Michael R. Bloomberg administration. An adjunct Professor of Finance at New York University’s Shack Institute of Real Estate from 2011 – 2015, Mr. Davis holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Georgetown University, a Master of Science degree in Sociology & Economics from Oxford University, and a Master’s degree from Harvard Business School
