Fengate Asset Management

#Fengate50 flashback: The first inflection point for Fengate came in 1981, when Louis Serafini Sr. (Sr.) met Mr. Enrico Mancinelli, business manager of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LiUNA) Local 873, through Hamilton’s fraternal Sons of Italy organization. Raised in the same community of newcomers to Canada, they forged a close business partnership and a deep friendship. Soon, Mr. Mancinelli entrusted Sr. to manage LiUNA’s initiative to develop #affordablehousing, becoming an integral part of creating the LiUNA Hamilton Association. Developing more than $150 million of affordable housing together gave Fengate the opportunity to expand Sr.’s passion of investing in #commercialrealestate. Before long, more than $20 million of commercial property was purchased. These investments would later become the foundation of Fengate’s first investment fund.

“I learned the entrepreneurial spirit from my father,” said Lou Serafini Jr., President and CEO at Fengate.   “He came from Italy when he was 12 years old, and tried many, many things. I remember him starting his first business at a very young age and it was going well, but his friend, who he'd known since the age of 14, suggested trying real estate. And he started a new business – Fengate.”     Join us here and on our webpage as we celebrate our 50th anniversary: https://bit.ly/4eYrxwi   #Fengate50
