Case Study: Denholtz Associates accelerates fundraising to 24-hour closings and boosts IRM efficiency 30% with CrowdStreet Sponsor Direct

Denholtz Associates - Customer Case Study

Denholtz Associates, a private real estate developer and syndicator with 30 office and industrial properties across five states (almost 5 million sq. ft.), more than 700 tenants and a high‑net‑worth investor network of 500+ people, was struggling with an inefficient, in‑house investor management process. Their Yardi system and an Access‑based solution couldn’t capture investor preferences, referrals, transfers or historical distributions, required heavy manual work, and stretched the solicitation‑to‑close timeline to about two months while consuming roughly 40% of the IRM team’s time.

To address this, Denholtz implemented CrowdStreet Sponsor Direct, using its publishing platform, Investor Room and transaction tools to import 450 investors and provide personalized “My Investments” pages and streamlined document and transaction workflows. CrowdStreet’s Sponsor Direct cut the fundraising timeline to as little as 24 hours, reduced transaction processing to under 20% of IRM workload, increased IRM efficiency by more than 30%, and made it much easier to roll existing investors into new offerings.
