Stone-Goff Partners Backs 5Q Partners to Build Scaled Tech Platform for CRE

Stone-Goff Partners has made a private equity investment in 5Q Partners, backing the Atlanta-based firm’s expansion across property technology, cybersecurity and operational technology services for commercial real estate owners and operators. 

Concurrent with the investment, 5Q acquired One11 Advisors, adding specialized property management software advisory and application support services across major proptech platforms. Financial terms of the transactions were not disclosed. 

Founded in 2014, 5Q provides integrated technology infrastructure, cybersecurity and advisory services to commercial real estate clients, including multifamily and student housing operators. The company currently supports more than 80 clients across over 950 properties. 

“The company’s vertical focus and understanding of property-level operating environments enable it to deliver practical, scalable solutions for 80+ clients across 950+ properties in an increasingly complex, interconnected landscape driven by the proliferation of connected devices and smart building technologies,” said Wade Hughes, CEO of 5Q. 

The investment will help fund service expansion, talent hiring, technology development and additional acquisitions, the companies said. 

“5Q’s vertical focus and technical expertise make the company a critical partner to its clients and we look forward to supporting continued organic growth and strategic acquisition,” added Rob Bosco, Partner at Stone-Goff. 

Deloitte Corporate Finance advised 5Q Partners on the transaction. Smith Gambrell Russell, and Fredrikson & Byron provided legal counsel to 5Q and Stone-Goff, respectively. LongWater Opportunities Fund provided debt financing for the transaction.
