CrowdStreet connects accredited investors with vetted commercial real estate sponsors offering direct investment opportunities in individual properties and diversified funds.
About CrowdStreet
CrowdStreet is a premier commercial real estate (CRE) crowdfunding platform that democratizes access to institutional-quality investment opportunities for accredited investors. Founded in 2014, the platform has facilitated billions of dollars in commercial real estate investments by connecting individual investors directly with experienced real estate sponsors and developers across the United States.
Unlike traditional real estate investment trusts (REITs), CrowdStreet allows investors to select individual commercial properties and projects that align with their investment goals, risk tolerance, and geographic preferences. The platform offers a diverse range of asset classes including office buildings, multifamily apartments, industrial properties, retail centers, and hospitality projects.
CrowdStreet conducts thorough due diligence on all sponsors and offerings featured on their marketplace, providing investors with detailed information, financial projections, and transparent reporting throughout the investment lifecycle. The platform serves as a technology-enabled intermediary that streamlines the traditionally complex process of investing in commercial real estate syndications.

Each investment includes its own fee structure outlined in the offering documents, including sponsor fees, management fees, and performance-based compensation.
