The Man Behind
999 Holdings
Following the successful sale of his fully integrated multifamily platform, CARROLL, founded in 2004, Patrick Carroll, a luminary in real estate investment and entrepreneurship, embarked on a new endeavor: to create a premier hybrid family office platform that capitalizes on his illustrious track record, influential relationships and personal wealth. This is 999 Holdings.
Between 2011 and 2021, CARROLL strategically prioritized volume under Patrick’s leadership. He spearheaded an elite acquisitions team, meticulously vetting thousands of deals and cultivating ties with more than twenty of the globe’s largest institutional equity investors. This strategy capitalized on historically low-interest rates, the ascendant status of multifamily as an institutional asset class, and exclusive relationships that yielded a robust off-market deal flow.
999 Holdings is poised to echo the successful investment approach of CARROLL. Our strategy hinges on rigorous investment criteria and underwriting, emphasizing in-place cash flows. We will target markets exhibiting high growth and a conducive business environment with a focus on necessity-based sectors, such as housing.
A paramount competitive advantage for 999 Holdings lies in our ability to deploy our own formidable balance sheet to entirely fund deals. This affords us certainty in closing transactions and the agility to act swiftly when we have chosen to acquire an asset. Moreover, we intend to amplify our capital by collaborating with like-minded co-investors and lenders, enabling us to undertake larger investments and foster scalability.
Patrick Carroll’s legacy of recruiting exceptional minds endures at 999 Holdings. Complementing impressive resumes, strong characters, and commendable achievements, all partners and senior-level personnel at 999 Holdings actively partake in the ownership of our investments. This alignment of interests, proven in the past, instills a profound sense of ownership and responsibility throughout our team.

Dynamic Leader, Innovative Investor
Patrick Carroll is the founder and CEO of the CARROLL firm and a nationally recognized leader in the real estate industry.
