PHOENIX, AZ – The Canyon Partners Real Estate-managed emerging manager program, the Canyon Catalyst Fund has expanded with the addition of Rincon Partners LLC to its roster of emerging managers.

As a full-service real estate investment and management firm, Rincon focuses on multifamily and self-storage properties in the Southwestern and Southeastern U.S. Established in 2015, Rincon is based in Phoenix, AZ and currently holds $334 million in assets under management.

Through the new partnership, Canyon will support Rincon’s growth, while leveraging Rincon’s local market expertise.

The partnership’s joint-investment in Paseo 51 Apartments will additionally encompasses interior renovations.
