Built Around the People Who Do the Work

Real estate performs better when the people responsible for results stay close to the work.

Our team brings acquisitions, asset management, property management, construction, accounting, and capital formation together under one roof. We communicate openly, act with integrity, and take ownership of every investment we operate.

Our Story

Rycore Capital was founded in 2019 and has grown into a fully integrated small bay industrial investment operating platform. The milestones below trace the relationships, investments, and operating capabilities that shaped the firm.

The Origins

Before Rycore

Ryan Urech built his real estate record as a regional senior executive at Wells Fargo Wealth Management, completing more than $300 million in acquisitions across 1.4 million square feet in 10 states.

2019

Rycore Capital Is Founded

Ryan founded Rycore with a private client advisory business serving family offices and high-net-worth clients across multiple property types, alongside a direct acquisition platform. The firm’s first two investments included a manufacturing facility and a suburban office property.

2020

Small Bay Strategy Begins

Rycore completed its first small bay industrial acquisition in partnership with a private advisory client.

Institutional Scale-Up
2021

First Institutional Joint Venture

2022

The Partnership Continues

Rycore completed a second small bay industrial acquisition with the same institutional partner.

2023

The Operating Platform Expands

Rycore formed a new institutional relationship through a multi-asset joint venture vehicle, added a private advisory client with $60 million in assets, began divesting non-core advisory holdings, and launched Rycore Commercial to bring property and construction management in-house.

2024

A New Market and a Larger Partnership

Rycore completed its largest joint venture to date, with a New York-based institutional investment firm managing $50 billion in assets, and expanded the small bay industrial portfolio into Tampa, Florida.

2026

A Pure-Play Small Bay Platform

Rycore acquired seven small bay properties in Houston. Six of them were through direct partnerships with family offices, RIAs, and high-net-worth investors. Rycore also completed the wind-down of its non-core advisory holdings and sold two additional small bay properties, including its original 2020 acquisition after a six-year hold, bringing completed small bay exits to three.

Today

Built for the Next Stage

Rycore has managed more than $455 million in assets since inception. Its current platform includes approximately $200 million in small bay industrial properties across Houston, Dallas, and Tampa.

Looking Ahead

A Platform Built to Grow

Rycore is working toward a $1 billion platform. Today, we raise equity deal by deal through direct partnerships with family offices, RIAs, private equity, and high-net-worth investors. Over time, we plan to add a discretionary, committed-capital program and expand into additional Southeast markets.
