I&H Solomon LP was founded in the mid-1950s by the Solomon Family of Chicago. For the past 75 years, the firm has been an active and highly successful developer, acquirer, redeveloper, owner, and manager of a diverse array of real estate investments across the United States and Europe through various subsidiaries and partnerships. The firm has achieved a full level of vertical integration, combining legal structuring, capital formation, development management, and executive-level ownership and operation to provide absolute responsibility and control over its assets. These investments have covered virtually every sector of the property market, including the development, acquisition, and repositioning of office and apartment buildings, land assemblages, and conversion of industrial and loft properties. In the aggregate, these developments have totaled over 14,700 residential units and more than 4 million square feet of commercial office space and have taken place in nearly every major submarket of Manhattan and Chicago.
Beginning in 2000, the Solomon Family diversified beyond real estate under the leadership of David S. Solomon, expanding into equity investments across a broad range of venture capital ventures and limited partnership participation in European and domestic companies through their Merchant banking platform Wellington Capital Partners LP. Mr. Solomon has also drawn on his extensive international experience to assume the principal role at Four Winds Capital Management in London and Boston, overseeing approximately $4.5 billion in assets under management, and a diversified portfolio of infrastructure and corporate acquisitions.
