LAS VEGAS - s4story -- The Calida Group, a vertically integrated multifamily investment, development and operating company, today announced the promotion of Joshua Nelson to president.

In his new role, Nelson will oversee the firm's day-to-day operations, investment strategy and execution across all business lines while continuing to serve on the company's Executive Committee and Investment Committee. He will work alongside Co-Founders Douglas Eisner and Eric Cohen to guide Calida's continued expansion and long-term strategic growth.

About The Calida Group

The Calida Group is a leading developer, investor, and operator of multifamily real estate properties in the western United States.  Founded in 2007 by Douglas Eisner and Eric Cohen, the principals have developed or acquired more than 30,000 multifamily units, and its senior management combines over 100 years of real estate experience.  The Calida Group invests roughly $1 billion annually across three primary strategies (Development, Value-Add Acquisitions and Core-Plus Acquisitions) on behalf of a series of discretionary commingled funds serving the family office and ultra-high net worth communities, as well as forming partnerships with many of the nation's largest financial institutions.

The Calida Group begins with strategic and creative deal sourcing methods to identify investment opportunities that are often completely off market or otherwise less competitively advertised. Then, by leveraging the firm's lifestyle-oriented design capabilities and operational expertise, The Calida Group tailors unique business plans for each asset. Finally, by meticulously implementing these business plans while managing construction risk, conservatively financing each property and employing thoughtful tax planning, Calida is able to create superior investment opportunities with lower risk than would typically be expected in deals of similar return profiles.
