Fortress Investment Group made its name investing when markets fell apart. Now, with the commercial real estate cycle turning, the investment giant is building a business that no longer depends on the next crisis. “We've come out of the shadows as this distressed and opportunistic investor and tried to paint a broader brush,” Fortress Chief Operating Officer of Real Estate Equity David Hammerman said in an interview with Bisnow. “And all of that DNA is still there. We are still very, from my perspective, sophisticated, savvy. We like complicated, tough situations.”
