Harrison Street Advisors, LLC

Harrison Street Advisors, LLC is an SEC‑registered investment adviser that primarily manages pooled investment vehicles and institutional mandates, including open‑end commingled funds, closed‑end funds, parallel vehicles and separately managed accounts. Its strategies focus on real assets and real‑asset infrastructure with sector concentrations in student housing, senior housing, healthcare (medical office and life sciences), self‑storage and data center/digital infrastructure.

The firm emphasizes a stabilized, income‑oriented approach, underwriting opportunities with proprietary screening, sector‑specific market research and third‑party appraisals, and commonly structures investments through joint ventures and co‑investment vehicles with operating partners. Harrison Street generally acts with discretionary authority under each fund’s governing documents, applies fund‑level leverage targets, and uses a multi‑year incentive fee arrangement for its infrastructure fund alongside NAV‑based management fees.

The firm’s operating model is notable for its group‑level affiliations and multi‑office platform: it is an indirect subsidiary of a larger asset management group and maintains formal relationships with a global real estate services firm that provides brokerage and capital formation services, as well as regulated sub‑management/AIFM and other affiliated service entities. Harrison Street also employs affiliated capabilities—including a captive insurance vehicle, an affiliated insurance broker and infrastructure services units—which produces a higher degree of in‑house service integration and attendant conflicts that the firm addresses through formal policies and advisory‑committee oversight.
