Transforming Opportunity Into Impact
INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY REAL ESTATEInvesting in Urban Catalyst Real Estate Equity Funds gives investors access to institutional quality real estate and management services. This levels the playing field for our investors by giving them access to quality real estate that is not as readily available to individual investors.
EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP TEAM The Urban Catalyst management team has been generating value in real estate for many years. As both fund managers and real estate professionals, we are vertically integrated, and specialize in creating funds that are based upon solid, fundamental real estate principles that include investment in core, core plus, value add and opportunistic properties.
We structure our funds similarly to traditional real estate equity funds, however, we also include tax advantages that allow investors to potentially increase their returns. Our current offerings include an Opportunity Zone Fund and a traditional real estate private equity fund. If you have had or plan to have a capital gains event, we may have a tax solution for you.
The Team Behind the Impact
Urban Catalyst is a team deeply connected to San Jose and committed to the city’s long term success. Many of our team members live in San Jose and experience the city firsthand, regularly passing by and visiting our projects as part of their everyday lives. San Jose is not just where we work, it is where we live, spend our time, and stay invested in the community.
That personal connection shapes how we approach development. We believe the most meaningful impact comes from teams who understand the city, care about its future, and are committed to contributing in a thoughtful and responsible way. By focusing on projects that support downtown revitalization and long-term economic strength, our team works to help keep San Jose vibrant, resilient, and moving forward.

Urban Catalyst: Impact in Every Project
Here’s how our completed and upcoming projects are shaping the Downtown San Jose community:
TownePlace Suites by Marriott
In April 2025, we introduced Downtown San Jose’s first extended-stay hotel. Since opening, it has consistently welcomed a mix of business travelers and guests staying for events, frequently selling out on busy nights.
This year, the hotel has already drawn significant attention, including full bookings for the upcoming Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. With the World Cup just months away, demand continues to grow, highlighting the hotel’s role as a key destination for visitors to the region.

Paseo
Our Paseo Project has introduced one of Downtown San Jose’s top dining destinations: Eos & Nyx. Since opening in 2024, the restaurant has earned a stellar reputation, reflected in its high review ratings. Guests are drawn not only to its cuisine but also to its unique interior features, including a bar pulley system that transports bottles between the first- and second-floor bars.
Another standout tenant at Paseo, Urban Putt, is quickly becoming a go-to destination for events and gatherings. Its versatile event space overlooks a thoughtfully designed mini golf course, offering a fun and memorable experience for visitors of all ages.

Aquino
Our Aquino Project, now under construction, will bring 278 much-needed multifamily units to Downtown West. Groundbreaking took place in September 2025, with completion expected in late 2027.
This marks our second project in the neighborhood, with another on the horizon, reinforcing our commitment to Downtown West’s revitalization and long-term growth.
