In October 2020, NB Private Capital’s name was changed to Versity Investments, LLC. According to its website, NB Private Capital, LLC (“NBPC”) is a student housing investment company located in Orange County, California. NBPC’s predecessor, Nelson Brothers Professional Real Estate (“NB”) was originally founded in 2007 with the goal of providing brick-and-mortar investment opportunities that can potentially offer a unique balance of stable performance, monthly income, tax efficiency, appreciation, and diversification—all from one investment. Through 2017, NB grew to over $850 million in managed real estate with over 1,300 investors and was ranked the #129th fastest-growing private companies in the US. 2018 saw the need for restructuring with Brian Nelson starting his own syndication firm, NBPC. While the name has changed, the goals remain the same. NBPC will continue to invest in student housing facilities throughout the country that are core pedestrian or properties designed for a market-specific population, in which the goal will be a long-term stable cash flow over a five-year holding period. The firm’s investments will be primarily geared to income-seeking investors who enjoy the simplicity of 1031 exchanges in a DST structure.
