Everton S. Latty (or “Ed”), is the Founder and Managing Director of Golden Rock Real Estate Partners, a private family investment firm that is part of SEGP Holdings. GRREP is focused on acquiring, developing, and repositioning medical outpatient buildings (MOBs) and multifamily assets in high-growth and undercapitalized U.S. markets. With over 25 years of experience spanning acquisitions, development, securitizations, and infrastructure strategy, Dr. Latty brings a multidisciplinary lens to complex real asset investments.

He began his career at Criimi Mae (bought by CW Capital), the pioneering B-piece buyer in the CMBS industry, where he managed a multi-billion dollar portfolio of CRE debt and worked on one of the first re-securitization transactions (that subsequently won Institutional Investor Deal of the Year). Since then, he has originated, underwritten, or negotiated transactions for a smart city development project, large-scale office, multifamily, industrial, and hospitality investments across the U.S., which includes superluxury hotels and trophy towers. Prior to GRREP, Dr. Latty led the Arawak Fund that bought an airports logistics company and that served several Fortune 1000 corporations. He also led Arawak’s team on acquisition transactions for beverage, pharmaceutical distribution, and biotechnology companies. His firm’s current focus includes scalable MOB platforms, public-private urban redevelopment projects, and sponsor-aligned capital structures.

He earned a Master of Science degree in Real Estate Development (MSRED) from New York University, a Master of Science in Biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University, a PhD in Data Science, an MBA in Finance, and completed medical doctoral coursework. He is a practitioner-scholar and CRE cap-rate specialist who has published research in peer-reviewed journal that has vast implications for federal reserve rates and recessions, institutional investments, and bank lending. Dr. Latty previously served as a graduate Course Director and Lecturer for Biotechnology Enterprise at The Johns Hopkins University, and prior to that as Adjunct Professor of Venture Capital & Private Equity in Howard University’s MBA program. He was awarded the Thomas Jefferson Fellowship.
