Hawkeye Partners, LP

Hawkeye Partners, LP is a real estate private equity firm that serves a single pooled client, a closed-end fund (Scout Fund II). As sponsor and investment manager, Hawkeye is responsible for the fund’s day-to-day activities, including sourcing, acquiring, managing and disposing of the fund’s investments.

The firm’s strategy centers on allocating the fund’s capital to privately placed interests in limited partnerships and other vehicles sponsored by new or emerging real estate managers (“New Managers”), typically acting as the fund’s sole investor in those New Manager Programs. Hawkeye combines third-party market research with proprietary in-house analysis, conducts in-depth due diligence on each New Manager, and exercises ongoing oversight (including appointing non-voting representatives to investment committees) while operating with discretionary authority subject to the fund’s governing documents.

What sets Hawkeye apart from many peers is its explicit focus on seeding and supervising New Manager Programs and its ownership of the fund’s general partner (including a carried interest), which gives it performance-based economic alignment with investors. The firm also discloses a co-investment vehicle owned by indirect owners and third parties and describes compliance controls (such as pre-clearance requirements) to address potential conflicts, and its advisory services are delivered solely to qualified, accredited investors through a private placement structure.
