| Overview
Six
ABR Funds Organized to Date. ABR was
established in 1972 to originate real estate investments
for the partners and clients of Alex. Brown &
Sons. In subsequent years, ABR's investment offerings
have ranged from private partnerships structured
for a handful of high net worth individuals to
large publicly-registered national offerings for
multiple investors.
In
1994, ABR began to focus its efforts on large,
commingled funds. These funds have delivered an
institutional-quality real estate investment product
and have provided clients with an opportunity
to co-invest with ABR in a diverse portfolio of
U.S. properties. To date, ABR has offered six
of these larger, commingled funds.
