Starwood Capital Group

Starwood Capital's summer internship program runs nine weeks and is built to identify talent for the firm's full-time analyst program, with roles opened individually by function rather than through one firm-wide posting:

• SREIT Operations Summer Analyst (New York and Greenwich, Connecticut): 2027 cohort, open to undergraduates graduating Fall 2027 to Spring 2028
• Japan Acquisitions Internship (Tokyo)
• Capital markets, investor relations and portfolio management summer analyst tracks have also run in past cycles, each posted and closed separately by function

Because each function opens and closes its own posting rather than sharing one deadline, a candidate targeting more than one Starwood track is running several separately timed application processes rather than one.

Founded in 1991 by Barry Sternlicht, Starwood Capital has grown into one of the largest private real estate investors globally: roughly $130 billion of assets under management across ~7,000 employees in 19 offices in 9 countries. In July 2026 the firm closed Starwood Distressed Opportunity Fund XIII at $10.2 billion, its largest fund to date; independent reporting puts the fund's focus on residential, data center, industrial and hospitality assets. Unlike firms running a single private-fund strategy, Starwood has also built externally managed public platforms from within the firm, including Starwood Property Trust (NYSE: STWD) and TRI Pointe Homes (NYSE: TPH).

A newly closed record fund still in its early deployment phase concentrates near-term hiring need in the functions doing that deployment (acquisitions, capital markets, asset management) rather than spreading it evenly across the firm, worth weighing when deciding where a Starwood application fits among a season's other targets.
