Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC, a leading alternative asset manager specializing in non-sponsored private credit, is pleased to announce the addition of 12 team members from Gibraltar Real Estate Capital, a prominent capital source for residential real estate development across the United States. These experienced professionals will join KL Servicers LLC, Kennedy Lewis’s division focused on asset monitoring, servicing, and due diligence for land banking investments.
As part of this transition, Gibraltar Co-founders Roger Brush and Michael Lapat will join Kennedy Lewis Investment Management as Managing Directors. Brush and Lapat, who led Gibraltar in executing $3.5 billion in transactions across 25 states, will now concentrate on enhancing Kennedy Lewis’s investments in homebuilding and land development.
“We are excited to welcome the Gibraltar team to Kennedy Lewis,” said Darren L. Richman, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner of Kennedy Lewis. “We have known Roger, Michael, and their team for many years, and integrating them into the Kennedy Lewis platform is a perfect strategic and cultural fit. Their experience, relationships, and expertise will significantly enhance our ability to seize attractive opportunities in the residential real estate sector. This move exemplifies our capability to expand our presence in specialized, non-sponsored markets following the recent investment from Petershill, and we look forward to building on our strong momentum.”
“Joining Kennedy Lewis, a firm with a strong reputation in the homebuilder finance sector due to its thoughtful approach and leadership’s extensive history in the industry, was a natural progression for us,” said Roger Brush. “We are eager to collaborate with our new colleagues and leverage our combined expertise to further strengthen the firm’s position as the partner of choice for leading homebuilders and developers seeking flexible, well-structured capital solutions.”
