Carpe Diem

CarpeDiem is a New York-based advisory firm specializing in the management of investments in high-value real estate and top-tier IT innovations. As construction projects grow in technical complexity and financial risk, and as investment structures become more specialized, CarpeDiem acts as a trusted owner's representative.

We provide strategic oversight and coordination across design, financing, and execution, filling critical gaps often left by traditional investment professionals. Both private investors and public-sector stakeholders increasingly turn to experienced project advisors like CarpeDiem to ensure control, clarity, and accountability throughout the investment and development process.The reasons for increased use of third-party owner’s representatives are likely driven by a combination of the growing technical complexity and economic risk associated with modern construction projects, the evolution of new and more complex project delivery methods, and increased specialization of design professionals who have historically served the role of owner’s representative.

Both private owners and public-sector awarding authorities are retaining project advisors to supplement their internal management and administrative capabilities and address gaps in services rendered by various investment professionals.
