Nelson Brothers
Overview
Nelson Brothers Professional Real Estate is an Irvine sponsor, founded in 2007, specializing in student housing and assisted living, and is the predecessor entity from which Nelson Partners later split—a distinction worth preserving, as the two are now separate competing firms run by different brothers. Its strengths are sector specialization in demographically supported niches; current AUM is not publicly disclosed, and the firm warrants diligence on a standalone basis distinct from Nelson Partners.
