WAYNE, PA — Investor appetite for real estate-backed alternatives surged in 2025, propelling PPR Capital Management to the strongest year in its 18-year history and pushing the firm past $1 billion raised and reinvested since inception.
The Wayne-based firm said it raised $142 million in new capital during the year and added 180 new investors, marking its largest annual expansion to date. The momentum lifted assets under management to $1.5 billion, a milestone executives say reflects sustained confidence from accredited retail investors amid volatile markets.
“2025 was a milestone year for PPR,” said Stephen G. Meyer, the firm’s chief executive officer and president. He credited disciplined investing and long-term relationships for helping the firm scale without chasing short-term trends.
Founded in 2007 with a focus on non-performing mortgage loans, PPR has broadened into a diversified platform spanning multifamily housing, build-to-rent communities, and operational real estate businesses. That evolution, the firm said, helped fuel a 67 percent increase in non-performing loan deployment over 2024, with more than 2,200 loans acquired across 43 trades during the year and an active portfolio exceeding 3,400 loans.
Beyond its core lending strategies, PPR added six multifamily properties in 2025, bringing its apartment portfolio to nearly 3,000 units. The firm also entered the build-to-rent sector with its first project, Highline at Knoxville, which advanced to Phase II construction after Phase I reached 92 percent occupancy and an 80 percent tenant retention rate.
Operational investments expanded as well. PPR’s Opportunity Fund ended the year with three operating Tommy’s Express Car Wash locations posting steady membership growth, with four additional sites under development across six states.
The firm’s performance earned outside recognition, landing PPR as the top-ranked company on the Philadelphia Business Journal’s 2025 Fast 50 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the Philadelphia region.
PPR also highlighted community initiatives launched during the year, including the creation of the PPR Prosperity Foundation and partnerships supporting disaster recovery in Texas and housing services for veterans in Philadelphia.
Heading into 2026, the firm said it plans to continue expanding its investor base while emphasizing transparent reporting and risk-adjusted returns across market cycles. With capital flowing into its diversified platform, PPR executives say the strategy remains unchanged: steady growth rooted in real assets and long-term investor trust.
