Investment Principals

Our Team

Cleat Capital is led by two partners whose combined experience spans billions in acquisitions, asset management, and vertically integrated development.

JG

Jason Gessner, CPA

Partner

Jason brings high-level tax expertise and CPA-driven financial precision to every acquisition, having facilitated $1.7 billion in transactions over his career. His background grounds Cleat Capital's platform in institutional financial review, tax-efficient structuring, and disciplined fiscal management across the portfolio.

WC

Winston Chou

Partner

Winston has managed $3 billion in assets and holds deep expertise in permitting, approvals, and vertically integrated engineering and development. His prior experience — including large-scale industrial development with Treeline Companies and asset management across national healthcare and office portfolios — informs Cleat Capital's in-house, execution-first approach.

Our Approach

Institutional discipline, hands-on execution

01

Financial Rigor

Every deal is underwritten and monitored with the same fiscal discipline institutional investors expect — and rarely find — in mid-market industrial real estate.

02

In-House Engineering

Vertical integration means fewer third-party dependencies, faster timelines, and lower costs on every project.

03

Hands-On Management

From tenant relations to contractor management, our team stays close to every asset in the portfolio.
