The short version

Michael J. Escalante is listed as an executive officer and director on 32 SEC Form D filings by 7 issuers between Aug 2009 and Mar 2023. Largest by amount reported sold: Griffin Capital, LLC (El Segundo, CA — investing — 2017–2019; $181.2M reported sold to 105 investors), Griffin Capital Development Partners Fund I, LLC (El Segundo, CA — other real estate — 2016–2017; $29.7M reported sold to 215 investors), Griffin Capital (Nashville) Investors, DST (El Segundo, CA — other real estate — 2013; $14.7M reported sold to 34 investors), GRT OP, L.P. (El Segundo, CA — reits and finance — 2011–2023; $13.8M reported sold to 90 investors), Griffin Capital (Highway 94) Investors, DST (El Segundo, CA — other real estate — 2012–2013; $10.5M reported sold to 45 investors) and 2 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 7 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 14 years. Across those companies the filings report $256.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Kevin A. Shields (32 shared filings), David C. Rupert (27 shared filings), Joseph E. Miller (22 shared filings), Mary P. Higgins (17 shared filings), Randy I. Anderson (17 shared filings) and 18 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Michael. Each name links to their own page.

All 7 issuers belong to the sponsor group Griffin (32 issuers, $2.78B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Griffin has 32 companies on file and $2.78B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 8 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Deals 7

Every issuer that named Michael J. Escalante on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
