He is responsible for creating and implementing the overall real estate investment strategy for the firm, with a focus on opportunistic acquisition and development opportunities. Mr. Norvell has over eighteen years of real estate experience, which includes all product types such as multifamily, commercial (office, industrial, retail, hotel, mixed-use), and single-family master-planned residential communities.

While there, he was responsible for sourcing investment opportunities in the Southeast region of the United States.

Mr. Norvell founded 36th Street Partners in 2012, working nights and weekends to acquire opportunistic commercial real estate assets in partnership with an UHNW family office in Los Angeles.

36th Street Partners became a full-time endeavor for Mr. Norvell in 2016, when he acquired and developed 250,000 square feet of industrial across two adjacent properties in Phoenix, AZ. These properties were stabilized and sold in 2019 and 2020. In 2019, Mr. Norvell joined Manhattan West to lead the commercial real estate investment strategy.  During his four year tenure at Manhattan West, he grew the real estate team to nine full time employees, including the creation of an in-house property management team, and successfully acquired over $150 million of opportunistic and value-add multifamily and industrial projects.
