A family investment office with a focus on diverse long-term investment strategies targeting real estate, private equity, energy, and conservation.
Our Story
Triton was founded as a community-focused real estate owner and operator in Denver, Colorado in 1989. In the nearly 40 years since our inception, Triton’s original objectives have remained consistent as we have deployed over half a billion dollars into real estate assets and communities in need of rejuvenation.
As Triton’s team and capital base has expanded, so too has our landscape of investments and focus on conservation and community. As a family investment office, we are creative and patient in the way we deploy capital. This enables us to invest across the entire risk spectrum and capital stack, from seed stage to pre-IPO companies in industries ranging from energy to technology throughout the world.
Our Platforms
Over the last three decades, Triton has invested across alternative assets both as a general and limited partner.
In our capacity as a general partner, we almost exclusively focus on distressed or underperforming real estate or real estate mortgage notes.
For investment opportunities in which we participate as a limited partner, we focus on the quality of the manager in their integrity and track record.
Our Impact
Triton’s focus on preservation and community has always been core to our mission. We are fortunate that we have been able to and continue to be involved in substantial preservation projects from permanently protecting California coastlines to conserving sprawling parts of the Rocky Mountains. We are also proud to be active members in our communities through a variety of organizations with a particular focus on health and education.
