Core Lines of Business

Real Estate

The Regency Group holds investments in both income-producing real estate assets as well as the development of real estate assets for both multi-family residential as well as commercial applications. We typically hold and manage strategic income producing assets for both our Automotive and Private Capital Divisions as well as select residential and commercial applications.

Automotive

Our business started in the retail automotive industry and has evolved from a single point dealership to over 14 franchises at its peak. We have strategically divested from a number of those businesses for various reasons and Regency Auto now comprises four franchises across five locations including Lexus, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

Private Capital

Our Private Capital Division, BlueArck Private Equity, is focused on finding strategic investments in a diverse array of industries with funding available through debt, mezzanine or equity capital. Our investments are in both private and publicly-traded companies, primarily in special situations such as shareholder or management buyouts, recapitalization or divestiture transactions. Our venture funding arm provides capital to knowledge based industries.
