Starboard Realty
Starboard Realty Advisors is a privately held, fully integrated real estate investment firm headquartered in Irvine, California. Founded in January 2014 by William H. Winn Jr. and Stephen J. Carlton, the firm draws on principals’ real estate experience dating back to 1989. Starboard acquires, develops, and manages multifamily and commercial properties across the United States, with holdings in Colorado, California, Washington, and Texas. Since its first acquisition in 2015, the firm has grown to more than $500 million in acquisitions, encompassing 1,904 multifamily units and 1,963,750 square feet of commercial space, with more than 500 investors across its syndications.
The firm’s platform spans acquisition, development, leasing, repositioning, asset and property management, financing, and disposition across multifamily apartments, multi-tenant retail centers, and triple-net lease properties. Starboard structures offerings around two investor needs: stabilized assets held for seven to ten years for investors pursuing 1031 exchanges, and value-add properties held for one to five years for investors seeking shorter-term appreciation. This dual structure gives both 1031 exchange investors and value-add-focused capital a range of options within a single sponsor’s platform, nationwide.
Starboard’s leadership includes William H. Winn as Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Stephen J. Carlton as Partner and Co-Founder, Daniel De Leon as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mark Jennings as Chief Financial Officer, Bradford Long as VP of Asset Management, and Sean Woods as Director of Development. The firm serves accredited investors through syndicated real estate offerings, with particular emphasis on 1031 exchange participants and investors seeking value-added multifamily and commercial exposure. Its investor base has grown to more than 500 since inception in 2014.
