Company Description
Cherokee is the world's largest private equity fund that specializes in the acquisition, remediation and sustainable redevelopment of contaminated real estate, or "brownfields". Since 1990, Cherokee has acquired over 520 properties while protecting sellers, future owners and communities from the risks and liabilities associated with environmentally impaired property. Cherokee currently retains more than $1.6 billion of assets under management and invests in properties throughout the United States, Canada and Western Europe. Cherokee accepts projects that traditional investors often reject and actively looks to transform communities where large-scale urban blight, environmental contamination and other obstacles impede economic growth and community redevelopment.

"Cherokee is committed to helping create environmentally friendly, socially equitable, healthy redevelopments with broad-based stakeholder input and appeal. Cherokee believes that conducting its business in a sustainable manner enhances the value of our development projects and provides us with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Addressing climate change is a critical step in these efforts, and we are proud to be a part of the EPA Climate Leaders Program." -Tom Darden, CEO
