Bryan Morganstern

Managing Member

A graduate of Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science from The College of Business in Real Estate, Mr. Morganstern brings nearly 30 years of experience as a broker, principal, and manager of land investments. From contract negotiation, acquisition, financing, and entitlement to the eventual sale, he works diligently in all aspects of the transaction.

Mr. Morganstern started his real estate career in 1995 with the Tempe, Arizona firm, Hogan & Associates, as an assistant land broker. Over the next six years, his hard work made him the top producer at the firm, which he had helped grow to 30 land brokers. In 2001, Mr. Morganstern began buying properties for himself. Starting in 2005, he began to focus on selling a substantial portion of his portfolio, culminating in a 2006 transaction that was the highest single land transaction in the history of the State of Arizona with a cash transaction of over $320 million. By 2007, he had the good fortune to have liquidated the majority of his holdings, but began buying again in 2009 when the market was in his favor. More recently, Skybridge Companies has successfully identified numerous undervalued assets, and aggressively pursued and completed several challenging acquisitions from distressed sellers, such as the FDIC, large private equity firms, and local banks.

To date, Mr. Morganstern has completed over $2 billion in real estate transactions and expanded his investments outside of Arizona to the states of Texas, California, and Nevada.

Mr. Morganstern continues to donate time and money to community organizations such as New Pathways for Youth, Make a Wish Foundation, and Phoenix Children’s Hospital, among others. He also serves on the Family Gifts Committee at The Great Hearts Academies, Archway Veritas campus.
