Brian Kavoogian is Managing Partner of National Development, a vertically integrated real estate investment, development and property management firm and one of the most respected investors in the Greater Boston market. Brian is focused on the firm’s investment strategy and oversight of its investment management platform, which has acquired/developed over $7 billion of assets within Funds I-IV and has just raised its Fund V with (on date of recording) $450 million of newly raised equity to be deployed in the coming years. In 2006, Brian co-founded National Development’s investment management platform, Charles River Realty Investors, which upon the close of its fourth fund in 2019 merged with National Development.  Prior to forming Charles River, Brian was a Principal of The Davis Companies, a Boston-based investment and development firm and from 1984 to 2000, Brian was with Holliday Fenoglio Fowler (HFF) where he oversaw the capitalization of many of Boston’s notable commercial projects. Our conversation with Brian starts in his Tufts University days and covers everything from early career development, the jump to the principal side, raising Fund I and subsequent funds, the evolution of the Charles River/National Development platform, to finding opportunity in a variety of market conditions and across asset classes. Brian is a universally respected investor and a trusted advisor to many, including Governor Charlie Baker as the Vice Chair of Mass Development and to Tufts University as Trustee Emeritus (and perhaps most notably, to the Greeley brothers). Brian will be a regular guest on Good Dirt and we look forward to going deeper with him on a wide variety of topics.
