Gregg Sandreuter

Gregg Sandreuter is a commercial real estate developer and investor in the Raleigh-Durham market and is listed by Downtown Raleigh Alliance as Managing Partner of HM Partners. HM Partners describes itself as a privately held commercial real estate investment and development company focused on high-quality properties in Raleigh/Durham, acquiring and developing infill office, multifamily, and street-level retail space on strategic suburban and urban sites.

Sandreuter’s real estate career in Raleigh dates back to 1988. HM Partners says Sandreuter and Beacon Partners managing partner Pete Lash began their real estate careers together in Raleigh that year; since then, the two individuals and their firms have participated in more than $1 billion of commercial real estate transactions in the Carolinas through various LLCs and partnerships. Preqin identifies Beacon Partners as formerly known as Oaklane Capital, a real estate firm focused on acquisition, development, rehabilitation, management, and leasing across office, residential, industrial, and mixed-use properties.

Earlier public bios list Sandreuter as a Partner at Beacon Partners, where he directed development and acquisition activities in the Raleigh-Durham market and worked on office, flex, and urban mixed-use projects. The same bio states that he earned a B.A. in history from Hamilton College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School; his LinkedIn profile also lists Harvard Business School from 1986 to 1988.

Sandreuter remains active in civic and industry networks. In 2026, Downtown Raleigh Alliance listed him on its board of directors, and the YMCA of the Triangle announced him as the new Chair of its Board of Directors. He has also appeared in NAIOP programming tied to the 400H project in downtown Raleigh.

• HM Partners’ stated focus is “high quality properties in the Raleigh/Durham North Carolina marketplace,” with acquisitions and development of infill office, multifamily, and street-level retail on strategic suburban and urban sites.
• The firm says “complicated urban mixed use projects are one of the firm’s specialties,” which matches Sandreuter’s record on projects such as 400H, Edison SkyHouse, Edison Lofts, and The Dawson.
• HM Partners funds projects using its own capital alongside debt and equity capital from high-net-worth individuals, family offices, institutional investors, and lenders.
• The firm’s own operating language emphasizes place-making and stakeholder value: “We create great places where people love to live and work.”
• Sandreuter appears to invest through project-specific entities and partnerships rather than as a seed-stage technology VC. I found no reliable evidence supporting the stub’s “Seed Round” designation.
