About Five Star Group

Five Star Group is a real estate operator headquartered in Miami, FL. Five Star Group operates in Atlanta, Georgia, Chattanooga, Tennessee-Georgia and Cleveland, Ohio. Its investment focus is on Hospitality, Industrial and Standalone Retail.

Five Star Group is a Dalton, Georgia-based private commercial real estate firm and family office founded in 1990 by Naren Patel. Operating with 36 years of industry experience, the firm functions as a long-term portfolio developer, retaining its assets rather than merchant building. The firm focuses its portfolio on hospitality, retail, office, single-tenant net-lease restaurants, industrial space, multi-family housing, and mixed-use developments. Its vertically integrated platform spans the complete asset lifecycle—including private equity investment, site acquisition, ground-up construction, brand franchising, and long-term property and asset management. The firm collaborates with major national brand partners, including Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Darden Restaurants, and Brinker International. The enterprise concentrates its geographical footprint across core markets in the Southeastern United States. Today, Five Star Group manages a real estate portfolio of over 2.4 million square feet and has invested in and developed more than 50 properties over its operating history.
