Drage Global Family Office — Coral Gables, Florida. Multi-Generational Family Capital Since 1959.
Drage Global is a multi-generational family office headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida. We deploy patient family capital across value-add multifamily real estate, private credit, and cross-border investments — building durable assets the way four generations of our family have built them since 1959.
A family legacy of building enduring American assets.
Our family wealth was established by Charles Arnoldus Brochmann, a Norwegian immigrant who helped build the foundations of modern America — contributing his labor and craftsmanship to landmark projects including the Brooklyn Bridge and the Panama Canal.
Thomas Brochmann Drage carried that ethic into industry, founding The Drage Corporation and laying the groundwork for the multi-generational family office we operate today.
Today, Drage Global is a multi-generational family office headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, currently led by John Edmond Drage, Chief Executive Officer. We deploy family capital — alongside a curated set of partners — across value-add multifamily real estate, private credit, and cross-border opportunities. Every investment we make carries the discipline of stewards who answer to four generations of family before they answer to anyone else.
Build for the next generation.
Our family has compounded capital across four generations because we underwrite for durability, not for quarters. Every asset is acquired with a view toward what it will be worth to our grandchildren.
Family capital, fully aligned.
We commit our own family balance sheet alongside our partners on every transaction. There is no clearer signal of conviction than personal capital at risk.
Cross-border by heritage.
From Norwegian roots to Florida industry to investments across Mexico and beyond, our family has always been at home in the seams between cultures. We invest where most capital hesitates.
Three disciplines. One standard of underwriting.
Value-add multifamily acquisitions.
We acquire underperforming multifamily assets in high-growth Southeast markets, applying operational discipline and capital improvements to drive net operating income and long-term value creation.
Senior, mezzanine, and preferred capital.
Bespoke financing for sponsors and operators where banks have retreated. We provide thoughtfully structured debt — first-lien, mezzanine, and preferred equity — to high-quality borrowers.
Cross-border investments.
Patient capital deployed across the United States, Mexico, and Latin America. We invest where our family's heritage and our team's regional fluency open opportunities others cannot see.
Three offices. One investment committee.
