Reilly joins the New York-based, residential-focused alternative investment manager as it launches its seventh U.S. opportunistic single-family rental fund. Per its website, Pretium has around $70B of assets under management. According to PERE, the firm manages roughly $32B in real estate equity, $6B in real estate debt and a $29B residential mortgage platform. Its sixth opportunistic single-family rental fund closed at $1.3B in 2024.
At Brookfield, Reilly was tapped in 2020 to oversee the real estate solutions group, a department focused on recapitalizations and secondaries. He later spearheaded the launch of Brookfield's first dedicated real estate secondaries fund, which closed in 2024 with $1.3B in commitments. A follow-up vehicle launched in October 2025 with a $2B fundraising target. Before the solutions group, he was head of originations at Brookfield Real Estate Funds. He succeeds Josh Pristaw, who left Pretium last year to become managing director and president at Clarion Partners.
Reilly's departure is one of several recent moves in Brookfield's real estate solutions group. Marcus Day, previously a managing director of U.S. and Asia-Pacific investment strategy, was named head of LaSalle Global Solutions at LaSalle Investment Management, a JLL subsidiary. Alison Giampa will manage Brookfield Real Estate Solutions' portfolio, Kayley Laren will run U.S. investment strategy, and Alexis Prevot will take on Asia-Pacific in addition to Europe, according to PERE.
Pretium has also made two other high-profile hires this year: Joel Sulkes as managing director of insurance risk management in March, and Graham Dorland as managing director of business development for capital raising, business and product development one month later.
