Phoenix Capital Realty Advisors, LLC (“PCRA” or “Phoenix Capital”) is a Texas limited liability
company and an SEC registered investment adviser with its principal place of business in Addison,
Texas. The Firm began conducting business in 2012. The Firm is owned by Sea Pines Capital
Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (50% member) and BT Advisors, LLC,
a Texas limited liability company (50% member). Sea Pines Capital Management, LLC is wholly
owned by Stephen J. Mastor, and BT Advisors, LLC is wholly owned by Bruce Williams. PCRA
is an affiliate of PCIM Realty Advisors, LLC (“PCIM”) which was previously registered as a
relying adviser under our registration. PCIM registered separately as an adviser in 2022 and is
identified as an affiliate in Part 1A of Form ADV and in this document. PCRA and PCIM conduct
a single unified business and, except as the context otherwise requires, any reference to Phoenix
Capital, “we,” “us” or “our” in this document generally includes PCRA and PCIM.
Investment Management Services
Phoenix Capital is a real estate financial services firm. The Firm provides fund management and
investment advisory services relating to private equity funds sponsored by the Firm or one of its
affiliates (each, a “Fund”) that are formed to acquire, develop, own, operate and sell real estate and
interests in real estate. The Funds are private, closed-end investment funds.
Unlike other types of private funds, such as hedge funds, the Funds receive unfunded capital
commitments (“Capital Commitments”) from investors that are unrelated to the Firm or any of its
affiliates (“Third Party Fund Investors”) during one or more initial fundraising stages, after which
the Funds are generally closed to new Investors. Each Fund is typically structured as a limited
partnership. Phoenix Capital is designated as the Investment Adviser for each Fund in its governing
documents. Affiliates of the Firm, as defined in Fund governing documents, are designated as the
general partner (“Fund General Partner”) and manager (“Manager”) for each Fund. The Fund
General Partners and Managers are not registered with the SEC but rather rely on the registration
of Phoenix Capital consistent with SEC guidance. During the life of a Fund, the Fund General
Partner, from time to time, calls on the Third-Party Fund Investors and the Phoenix Participant
(defined below) to make capital contributions (“Capital Contributions”) of a portion of their
respective Capital Commitments to the Fund on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Investors’
respective Capital Commitments to satisfy expenses, fees or project investments (each a “Call for
Capital”).
The primary business of the Funds is to make equity investments in U.S. based commercial real
estate (including multifamily). The Firm currently provides fund management and investment
advisory services to the following Funds (each a “Primary Fund”):
• Phoenix Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership; and Phoenix Real
Estate Fund IX, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.
• .
With respect to certain Funds, tax-exempt or other investors elect to invest into the Primary Fund
through a blocker entity (“Blockers”) or other parallel investment entity for tax or other purposes.
In effect, the Blockers and parallel investment
entities serve as “feeder funds” that each invest all
of their assets into a “master fund” (the respective Primary Fund.) Following are the Blockers and
parallel investment entities related to the Primary Funds.
• Phoenix Fund IX Blocker, LLC
• Phoenix Fund VIII Blocker, LLC
An affiliate of PCRA serves as the investment manager for other affiliated Funds (as further
described in Item 10 below) and is expected to serve as the manager for any future Funds.
Accordingly, the Firm does not expect to manage additional funds going forward after the Funds
listed above have been terminated.
The Funds are not required to register under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment Company
Act of 1940 in reliance upon certain exemptions available to issuers whose securities are not
publicly offered. The Firm manages the Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of
each Fund's offering and organizational documents (in each case, the “Fund’s Organizational
Documents”).
Phoenix Capital also provides asset management services to a number of investment entities that
have been established to either co-invest with a Fund in certain commercial real estate investments,
or to invest solely in a Fund through an entity that prevents unrelated business taxable income
from flowing through to its investors (“Co-Investment Vehicles”). However, the Firm does not
provide investment advisory services to such Co-Investment Vehicles, in that it does not provide
securities advice or receive advisory fees related to the investments made by such entities. The
Firm provides co-investment opportunities with respect to some, but not all of the Fund’s
investments to certain high net worth individuals, family offices, investment professionals, and
entities (“Co-Investors”). Typically, co-investment opportunities are larger investments requiring
more resources than the Fund will invest and are presented to Co-Investors in order to facilitate
the transaction. For certain investment opportunities that are not consistent with Fund mandates,
the Firm raises stand-alone Co-Investment Vehicles comprised solely of separate Co-Investors.
The Firm does not provide investment advisory services to such entities. Co-Investors decide
whether to participate in any such investment opportunity and thus make their own investment
decision.
Assets Under Management
The Firm manages each Fund on a discretionary basis in accordance with the applicable Fund’s
Organizational Documents. Regulatory assets under the Firm’s management include fund-level
assets and were $233,404,197 as of December 31, 2023. Regulatory assets under management do
not include project-level debt. All assets are managed on a discretionary basis; the Firm does not
manage any assets on a non-discretionary basis.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: The information provided in this Brochure
merely summarizes the detailed information provided in each Fund’s Organizational Documents.
Current Third-Party Fund Investors and prospective Third-Party Fund Investors in any new Fund
launched by the Firm should be aware of the risks associated with Fund investments as well as the
terms applicable to such investment. This and other detailed information are provided in each Fund’s
Organizational Documents.
