Three Generations of Excellence

St. James Real Estate Ventures represents the culmination of three generations of real estate expertise, founded by F. Anthony Santiago, a third-generation real estate professional with over 30 years of sub and institutional principal experience.

Our journey began with a simple belief: sophisticated investors deserve sophisticated solutions. What started as a vision to bridge the gap between institutional-grade expertise and private market accessibility has evolved into a comprehensive real estate investment platform serving principle driven and now discerning clients nationwide.

Our Founder has developed and or managed over $2B+ billion in assets, having closed more than 250 + transactions across multiple asset classes. Our success will be measured not just in financial returns, but in the lasting relationships we build and the generational wealth we will help create.
