Rajeev Misra
Co-founder and CEO at OneIM
Rajeev Misra’s OneIM is a Manhattan-based alternative investment house doing a brisk trade across three major business lines in commercial real estate investment: acquisitions, development and (especially) financing.
Misra knows the terrain, especially the money side. A former top executive at Fortress Investment Group, Deutsche Bank and UBS, Misra in 2014 joined SoftBank, when it was worth somewhere around $90 billion (it’s about $15 billion more valuable than that now). He was chief executive of its investment advisory, which included SoftBank’s so-called “vision funds” for technology investment, including into coworking giant WeWork.
OneIM launched in 2022 — while Misra still held a top leadership role at SoftBank — and has grown in employee count and fundraising ever since. Bloomberg reported about 50 employees as of last fall with about $8 billion in deployable funds. That figure has likely grown due to investment from the Middle East, including an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund.
When it comes to commercial real estate, Misra’s firm targets “opportunistic credit and equity investments in high-quality and related operating companies,” according to its website. The bulk of those real estate opportunities have been found in the U.S. and Europe — and via partnerships galore with major names in CRE and the wider investment world.
Some recent deals include the early 2025 purchase, along with a partner, of an 89.9 percent stake in a 6,788-unit German multifamily portfolio, and the acquisition with its partners of an 829-unit luxury multifamily project in Jersey City, N.J. One of the partners on that latter deal was RXR, which partnered with OneIM in 2024 to launch a $500 million venture to finance multifamily projects, per Bloomberg. That nine-figure venture is indicative of the scale of other OneIM financing moves.
Rounding out OneIM’s real estate investment lines is an active development business. That includes a multi-phase industrial project on a 78-acre site in Idaho that the company broke ground on with a partner in December.
