An American private equity investment firm based in Boston that specializes in real assets, distressed securities, and mezzanine capital.

Founded in 1992 by Sam Byrne and Bill Kremer as Boston Capital Institutional Advisors, the firm originally focused on commercial real estate investments and non-performing loan work-outs. It transitioned its name to CrossHarbor Capital Partners in 2004 to reflect a broader regional investment portfolio and distinguish itself from other Boston-area financial firms.

The firm specializes in alternative investments and distressed assets often avoided by mainstream investors, focusing on transitional and complex middle-market situations. CrossHarbor leverages its expertise in asset management to provide debt or equity to real estate assets experiencing distress at either the asset or ownership level.

One of CrossHarbor's most notable achievements includes its role as the lead developer and owner of the Yellowstone Club in Montana. Through a series of strategic acquisitions and bankruptcy proceedings, the firm consolidated various Montana properties into one of the largest ski areas in the United States, managing nearly 28,000 acres of resort development.
