In 1989, at the age of 22, Mark Schuster formed The Schuster Group. At its origins, the firm was focused on third-party management, and real estate partnership syndications with value-add components. Through these efforts the company owned and managed small to mid-size properties throughout five counties in the Pacific Northwest, including: multi-family, retail, office and mixed use. The company focused on re-tenanting, re-branding, and updating these assets to maximize value and they were extremely successful. Over the course of three decades the The Schuster Group has grown from a one-man shop into a multi-faceted group of companies, and one of the most successful private equity investment and development firms in the Pacific Northwest. The company leverages its experience, brand, and reputation on behalf of private equity partners and third-party clients.
