FrontRange Capital Partners and Browning Real Estate Partners Form Co-GP Joint Venture for Indianapolis Industrial and Multifamily Development

Frontrange Capital Partners and Browning Real Estate Partners have formed a programmatic co-GP joint venture targeting Class A industrial real estate development, multifamily real estate development, and opportunistic industrial real estate acquisition across Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, the firms announced April 24, 2026.

The venture pairs FrontRange's investment capital and operational support services with Browning's nearly 50-year track record as a vertically integrated developer, contractor, and asset manager in Midwest real estate markets. Two ground-up industrial development projects in the Indianapolis metropolitan area have already been committed, with execution underway from the partnership's inception.

Partnership Structure and Investment Strategy

The co-GP joint venture targets an investment mix of approximately 75% industrial and 25% multifamily. The venture will also pursue opportunistic industrial real estate acquisition in addition to ground-up development.

"Browning's sterling reputation and character along with their vertically integrated platform, extensive institutional relationships, and deep pipeline of controlled land make this a compelling Co-GP partnership," said Christopher Davis, Managing Principal at FrontRange. "We are excited to support Browning's next chapter of growth across supply-constrained logistics markets and strong multifamily markets."

John Hirschman, President and CEO of Browning, said the arrangement provides capital flexibility to activate the firm's pipeline at scale. "This partnership provides us with the capital flexibility to activate our pipeline at scale while maintaining the operational discipline and market relationships that have defined our firm since inception," Hirschman said. "We build partnerships on alignment and long-term value creation and look forward to growing alongside FrontRange as we deliver projects that strengthen the markets we serve."
