Robert Morse, Bridge’s Executive Chairman, remarked, “Bridge delivered the best first quarter in company history despite a more volatile macroeconomic environment. Our Company continues to benefit from increasing allocation to alternative investments in commercial real estate, robust capital raising activities, and our specialized focus on some of the most attractive investment sectors within US real estate. We believe Bridge’s strategic focus on residential, logistics and yield-oriented investments positions us well for continued success.”

Jonathan Slager, Bridge’s Chief Executive Officer, added “Commercial real estate fundamentals in our specialized segments continue to be strong. Our focus on the value-add sector of target markets and forward integration into property management position Bridge to succeed. We had an active quarter, deploying more than $638.6 million and increasing fee-earning AUM to $14.7 billion, up 43% compared to a year ago. Additionally, strong investment performance year-to-date and another successful fundraising quarter for Bridge totaling $1.1 billion represent a solid beginning for 2022.”
