Tracy Benjamin
Tracy joined Caisson as a Consultant in September 2017, to support the equity raising activities within the Private Funds Group. He supports the growth of Caisson’s core business in the multi-let industrial (“MLI”) sector, promoting the company’s services to family offices and other wealth platforms.
Tracy’s property career began in 1981, with a boutique investment house called Colegrave Group who were acquired by Johnson Fry PLC in 1987. Whilst there, he was a main board director with responsibility for both its real estate activities and its intermediary distribution of mainstream investment products and services.
In 1998, he established Pinder Fry & Benjamin with two colleagues from Johnson Fry. The firm quickly earned a reputation for delivering syndicated commercial property investments that were pre-let on long leases, to institutional grade tenants. In a little over ten years, nearly £1 billion of property was acquired. Tracy was responsible for assisting with the deal evaluation and equity raising for each project.
In 2011, he was a founding partner of Osprey Equity Partners with two colleagues from Pinder Fry & Benjamin. Osprey is a 50/50 joint venture with Alvarium, a multi-family office with a substantial real estate platform both in the UK and mainland Europe. During his time there, Tracy raised the equity to acquire over £650 million of UK long indexed income properties, through 21 separate funds - all of which are now closed.
He left in 2017 and formed TDB Consultancy.
Tracy enjoys spending time with his extended family, especially his five grandkids, taking country walks, swimming and bike riding, as well as watching football (he supports Tottenham!). He also loves to travel.
