54 Madison Partners

What they do

Founded in 2015 by prominent financier Henry Silverman alongside Thomas Christopoul and Rudy Sahay, 54 Madison Partners (54MP) was a closed-end real estate private equity investment firm. Initially capitalized by Leucadia National Corporation, clients of Guggenheim Partners, and its own executives, the firm specialized in providing equity capital for world-class real estate assets in core global urban markets. The firm partnered with developers and hospitality brands to build luxury hotels, timeshares, and residential complexes. Having fully deployed its capital, the firm has now concluded its operations, and its principals have dispersed to lead real estate strategies at other major financial institutions.

What they look for

54 Madison Partners maintained a long-term, opportunistic investment strategy providing equity capital for hotel, vacation ownership, resort, residential, and specialty retail real estate development projects. They explicitly sought to invest with "value-added partners" who brought capital, operational expertise, real estate development experience, or hospitality branding expertise to their joint ventures. They targeted world-class real estate assets in core global urban markets where their team's deep relationships provided a comparative advantage.
