This Episode

Alturas Capital Partners has built a vertically integrated platform across the Intermountain West—and in this episode, Chris Lopez sits down with Daniel Trevino (Director of Investor Relations) to unpack what that “operators first” philosophy looks like in practice.


Daniel explains why Alturas focuses on markets they know firsthand (including Colorado), how they think about creating alpha through hands-on execution, and why the firm chose an evergreen fund structure designed for long-term compounding instead of a traditional closed-end raise. The conversation also dives into why Alturas leaned into “neighborhood” and experiential retail when the asset class was out of favor, how that thesis has evolved, and what they’re seeing today across office, retail, and other commercial segments.


Chris presses on the core LP questions: how diversification works inside a multi-asset evergreen vehicle, how Alturas thinks about underwriting spreads in today’s rate environment, why location quality matters even more in office, and what a “poor performer” taught them about risk management. Daniel closes with where Alturas sees opportunity building over the next cycle—and why the right basis (and the right market) still matters most.


Key Takeaways

  • What “operators first” means and why Alturas verticalized acquisitions, management, leasing, and maintenance
  • How Alturas defines the Intermountain West—and why local market knowledge is central to their strategy
  • Why they built an evergreen vehicle for flexibility through cycles (buy when it’s right, sell when it’s frothy)
  • The retail thesis: “experiential” and neighborhood retail vs. the parts of retail most exposed to e-commerce
  • How Alturas approaches multi-asset diversification without losing operational discipline—and what skill sets translate across retail/industrial/flex/office
  • A real example of a struggling office asset and the key lesson: location quality can make or break execution
  • What they’re watching next: office supply dynamics, underbuilding, and where basis-driven opportunity may emerge
