Our Company
Tidal Real Estate Partners is a Charleston and Palm Beach based real estate development and investment platform led by principals Mick Walsdorf and Ken Copeland. The partnership implements clear investment theses and has a proven track record of superior design coupled with efficient project execution and outsized investment returns. Willing to lead rather than follow with respect to markets, locations, and product, the Tidal partners' instinct has long been to set a standard for others to follow. Tidal’s principals have worked together for over 14 years and have completed roughly $1.4B of real estate development projects. Tidal REP currently manages two discretionary private equity funds totaling over $150MM that invest its GP positions in larger opportunistic real estate projects. Tidal is currently managing an active capitalized construction and development portfolio of over $1B and has additional development pipeline in pre-development of over $700MM in project cost. Tidal specializes in luxury residential and hospitality anchored projects which often include innovative commercial components. Tidal delivers compelling returns through ground-up development, re-development, and re-positionings of urban infill assets in major cities; and assets in compelling tourism and lifestyle focused smaller cities and corridors.
What we do
A History of Leading the Way
Our Approach
Tidal focuses on opportunistic development and investment in dynamic urban environments. Tidal has developed and invested in challenging established markets and high growth emerging cities including New York, Nashville, Atlanta, Raleigh, and Savannah. Tidal specializes in complicated and upscale hospitality, residential, and mixed uses projects and assets. We deliver next generation assets into mature high barrier to entry submarkets and new classes of assets in dynamic neighborhoods at inflection points. When purchasing existing properties we seek deep value where new design and repositioning bring upside.
