Thomas McPherson, Principal
A real estate entrepreneur and U.S. Navy veteran, Thomas enjoys engaging in visionary work with diverse teams to solve challenging problems. While serving in the Navy, Thomas earned his Surface Warfare and Fleet Marine Force Warfare designations and completed extensive combat medical training as an FMF Corpsman. He learned how to heal the human body, and now through leadership, he seeks to heal our communities and the planet. Thomas began his real estate career as a broker with Sperry Van Ness, winning their National Rookie of the Year Award in 2010. He then moved to Hendricks & Partners (now Berkadia), the premier multifamily brokerage firm in the US. In 2012, Thomas founded Fenix Private Capital Group LLC to focus on improving underperforming real estate assets throughout Arizona. At Fenix, Thomas participated in purchasing and repositioning value-add multifamily, office, retail, and industrial properties across Arizona. This was accomplished by purchasing properties via short-sale, auction, REO, or conventional sales using personal capital, private lenders, banks, and raising equity. In addition to purchasing real property, Thomas began buying distressed debt in 2011, buying nonperforming loans (NPLs) from national, regional, and community banks along with private parties. Recognizing a need for leadership in sustainable development, Thomas positioned Fenix PCG to be a pioneer development company of highly sustainable mixed-use real estate in urban cores. Partnering with Habitat Metro, Thomas has since developed the 70-unit mixed-use property Eco PHX in downtown Phoenix and Eco Mesa, the 102-unit mixed-use property in downtown Mesa. Fenix and Habitat Metro continue to develop their Eco branded and highly sustainable multifamily projects in the Phoenix area.
