Leon is a collective of exceptional individuals driven by a shared mission—to transform bold ideas into remarkable realities.
At Leon, we relentlessly pursue contrarian opportunities and go beyond being mere “investors” by actively conceiving, developing, owning, and operating best-in-category businesses. Leon is closely held, enabling the investment flexibility to shift between real estate asset classes, geographies and positions in the capital stack as we perceive risk-reward dynamics to be evolving.
Leon’s diverse portfolio spans across industries, from industrial warehouses to multifamily residences, mental health networks to salon services. Our aim is to be the preferred partner for our customers, continuously improving and adapting our services to better meet their needs, every single day. With a workforce of over 4,000 dedicated individuals across the United States, Leon is more than just a company—it’s an engine for collaboration and innovation with a focus on value creation. Together with our operating partners, Leon touches the lives of over 5.5 million Americans annually, embodying the essence of local presence with a national impact.
Leon is a holding company overseeing twelve independently-managed subsidiaries in the three divisions: financial services, healthcare and real estate. Leon is not a private equity fund, it operates as a family holding company that takes the lead conceiving, developing, owning, and operating businesses.
Private equity funds, once a disruptive force, have become a lackluster model. The excessive reliance on massive funds, exorbitant management fees, and short-termism has led to underwhelming returns.
In stark contrast, Leon emerges as the superior alternative to the fund model in every industry. We differentiate ourselves by investing our own capital alongside entrepreneurs, acting as partners who compound shared equity value. Leon is closely held and our long-term view allows us to be unencumbered by artificial deadlines and constraints imposed by the cycle of raising and returning private equity funds.
