Quintin E. Primo III is the Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Capri Capital Partners, LLC, one of the largest minority-owned real estate investment management firms in the United States.
The deal, which Capri expects will take about three-and-a-half years to complete, came about as a result of Primo’s network. “I received a call from a friend, a senior manager at Google, who indicated that the company was expanding significantly in Chicago,” he recalls. “Mike Reschke, CEO and owner of The Prime Group and I have been friends and business associates for many years. So, I went to Mike and talked about how we could team up in a fifty-fifty partnership, buy the Thompson Center together, and concurrently do a build-to-suit for Google.”
