Vince Costantini founded Roseview Capital Partners in 2001 and, for nine years, has led the firm’s real estate advisory practice.

 

Prior to founding Roseview, Mr. Costantini was President of Boston Financial, an institutional real estate investment advisor with a 30+ year history, 32 partners, more than 2,000 employees, and dozens of institutional clients.  During his five-year tenure as President, which culminated in the company’s sale to an Australian public company, Boston Financial’s assets under management more than doubled, to $8 Billion, and earnings grew more than fivefold.  Mr. Costantini also served as CEO of O'Neill Properties Group, one of the leading regional development companies in the Northeast U.S., where he was responsible for overseeing large-scale office, retail and residential developments from Boston to Washington DC.

 

Prior to Boston Financial, Mr. Costantini spent 10 years at General Investment and Development (GID), a private family investment firm with holdings in real estate, energy and venture capital in excess of $1 billion at the time.  As Chief Investment Officer, he conceived and led the effort to marry the family’s money for the first time with outside investment capital, beginning the firm’s transformation into a multi-billion dollar institutional investment advisor that today invests on behalf of multiple pension funds.  He also was the lead investment professional responsible for investing in hundreds of million of dollars of distressed and bank-owned real estate on behalf of GID during the last major cyclical real estate downturn from 1989 to 1991, capitalizing on the significant dislocation that existed in the capital and property markets; those investments ultimately yielded annualized returns in excess of 50%.

 

Mr. Costantini earned a B.S. from St. Joseph’s University and began his career as a Certified Public Accountant and consultant with Price Waterhouse.  He sits on a number of business and non-profit boards, including the Board of Directors of Realty Finance Corporation, where he chairs the Audit Committee, and the Board of Overseers of Newton Wellesley Hospital.  He also sits on the Investment Committee of Charles River Realty Fund, a $200 million closed-end, commingled institutional equity fund making value-added and opportunistic real estate investments primarily in the Northeast U.S.
