Institutional discipline. Operator execution.
Black Seven Capital is a privately held commercial real estate investment firm. We acquire, manage, and optimize commercial properties — with a core focus on value-add acquisitions and lease structure improvement. We are operators first, investors second, and we invite capital partners who want alignment with an active, disciplined owner-operator.
Invest alongside us in specific commercial acquisitions. We bring institutional-quality underwriting to real-market deals — value-add properties where our operational expertise creates the return, not just the market.
We own the assets we manage. We operate the buildings we invest in. Our capital is in every deal alongside our investors — there is no fee structure that benefits us when you don't perform.
Our core strategy — converting gross leases to NNN structures — creates a compounding effect on NOI that doesn't require market appreciation to generate returns. Each lease event is a value creation moment.
Through CEG Management, we control the operations of our portfolio directly. No third-party management fees eroding returns. No information lag. We know exactly what's happening in our buildings at all times.
"We don't underwrite to the best case. We underwrite to the deal that works when things don't go perfectly — and then we operate it to outperform."
— Brian Potratz, Founder

Minnesota (primary), Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio, and Arizona. Secondary and tertiary markets where our operational edge matters most.
Value-add acquisitions with gross-to-NNN conversion opportunity. Long-term holds with lease structure improvement as the primary return driver.
We work with a select group of capital partners who share our operator-aligned philosophy. If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.
