This is our legacy.

We are a single-family office based in New York City and Seoul, South Korea.

Fourth-generation investors.

Our story begins in Korea, with our family acquiring real estate in Yongin in the 19th century. We grew our portfolio over several generations, surviving the Korean War, evolving with the fast-changing Korean landscape.

Members of our family first moved to the US in 1989 on a diplomatic mission. In 2001, we made our first investment abroad: a single-family home on Livorna Road in Alamo, California. In 2016, we founded Livorna Capital, which is now our main investment vehicle.

The journey from old-school to venture.

Our fundamentals are grounded in tradition, from old-school real estate investing. We still hold and manage legacy real estate from the 19th century, along with modern acquisitions—from the most beautiful coastlines along the Korean peninsula, to prolific farmlands, and commercial and residential real estate—all the while expanding our footprint to the US.

We’re inspired by exploration and change. We believe that venture investing is the most exciting and opportune space to drive progress. We have been making direct investments since 2010.
