NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. (NSAM) is an alternative asset management firm that provides investment management services focused on real estate, infrastructure, and commercial finance. The company offers a range of products and services including opportunistic real estate equity and debt investments; infrastructure equity strategies targeting energy transition and digital infrastructure; commercial real estate lending through senior mortgages, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity; and asset management for institutional and high-net-worth investors. NSAM operates primarily in North America with selective opportunities in Europe and Asia, serving pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and insurance companies as key client segments.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in New York, the company manages approximately $18 billion in assets under management across its core strategies. NSAM provides these services through dedicated platforms such as NorthStar Realty Europe (now deconsolidated), Infrastructure Investors, and Commercial Mortgage-Bridge Lending, with a focus on generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through active management and operational enhancements.
In recent developments, NSAM completed the strategic sale of its commercial real estate lending platform to a consortium led by funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management in 2022, allowing sharper focus on high-conviction infrastructure and opportunistic equity investments. The company raised significant capital commitments, including over $1 billion for its latest infrastructure fund in 2024, and formed a joint venture with a leading pension fund for energy transition infrastructure projects in North America. Additionally, NSAM expanded its digital infrastructure segment through targeted acquisitions of data center development assets in 2025, reinforcing its position in growth sectors amid rising demand for sustainable investments.
