Joseph Strobele is the founder of Crystal Peaks LLC, a privately held real estate investment firm.  

The underlying vision of Crystal Peaks is to unlock exceptional investment avenues that promise risk-adjusted returns to its investors and partners. These opportunities encompass single asset acquisitions, asset repositioning, development and redevelopment, and joint ventures.

Joe has two decades of extensive experience in acquisition, financing, development, asset management, and disposition of real estate. His journey began with the co-founding of The LEXAS Companies, which blossomed into four operational divisions. Joe is widely recognized for developing ESCALA, a luxury high-rise condominium project in downtown Seattle. Before ESCALA, Joe successfully ran a company that syndicated private capital to acquire real estate assets, ensuring risk-adjusted returns. His professional path led him to serve as a development executive with two respected real estate investment companies in Legacy Partners and Lincoln Property Company. 

Before settling in Seattle, Joseph honed his skills in the distressed asset class in Southern California and Southern Nevada.

Joe was a captain in the United States Air Force and has a degree in electrical engineering with a minor in applied math from Wright State University. He has also earned a Master’s in Real Estate Development Program (MRED) from the University of Southern California.
