Stone‑Goff Partners has made a strategic investment in 5Q Partners, an Atlanta‑based provider of information and operational technology solutions for the commercial real estate industry, while simultaneously supporting 5Q’s acquisition of One11 Advisors. The combined move expands 5Q’s capabilities across major property management and proptech platforms, strengthening its position as a specialized technology partner for owners and operators of commercial real estate assets.
Founded in 2014 by industry‑native technologists, 5Q has built a focused services platform under CEO Wade Hughes, delivering integrated solutions across IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and technology advisory for more than 80 clients and over 950 properties in an increasingly complex, interconnected operating environment driven by smart building technologies.
The investment from Stone‑Goff will support 5Q’s continued growth, including expansion of service offerings, investment in talent and technology, and pursuit of complementary acquisitions. The firm said demand is rising for integrated, end‑to‑end technology solutions across the commercial real estate landscape as portfolios face growing complexity across cybersecurity, infrastructure, building systems, and property management applications. The acquisition of One11 Advisors adds specialized application support and property management software advisory capabilities, enhancing 5Q’s ability to serve clients across leading systems and deepening relationships with its existing customer base.
Stone‑Goff said the partnership aligns with its strategy of investing in technology‑driven business‑to‑business service companies with clearly defined end markets. The firm highlighted 5Q’s vertical focus, technical expertise, and role as a critical partner to commercial real estate clients. The simultaneous acquisition of One11 reflects Stone‑Goff’s commitment to building a scaled platform capable of supporting clients across infrastructure, cybersecurity, operational technology, and core property management applications. Deloitte Corporate Finance advised 5Q on the transaction, with legal counsel provided by Smith Gambrell Russell and Fredrikson & Byron, and debt financing supplied by LongWater Opportunities Fund.
