Sail Harbor Capital (SHC) is a boutique commercial real estate investor founded in 2017 by former partner at Fortress Investment Group, Ben Michelson, to invest in large CRE tranches across the capital stack, primarily focused on highly structured credit, structured equity, and strategic distressed opportunities.
