The New York City-headquartered real estate investment firm 11North Partners has hired Ekta Patel as chief operating officer.
In her new role, Patel will oversee firmwide operations, coordination across asset management, and platform infrastructure, supporting the firm’s existing portfolio while enabling future growth initiatives. She joins 11North from Bain Capital Real Estate, where she was a director on the company’s real estate team. Earlier in her career, she was a vice president at AEW Capital Management.
“11North has evolved into a multi-platform owner and operator backed by long-term global institutional capital,” said Brian Harper, founder and managing partner of 11North Partners. “Ekta brings deep operating experience, disciplined execution, and a collaborative leadership style that aligns directly with our culture and long-term vision. I am excited to partner with her as we continue to scale the platform thoughtfully and with precision.”
