Chase Lenfest owns or holds interests in a diverse portfolio of companies operating in media, marketing, healthcare, technology, real estate, and private and public equity investment. Chase is a dedicated philanthropist both personally and through his two foundations. In 1974, Chase's father and founder of Lenfest Communications, H.F. (Gerry) Lenfest, purchased Suburban Cable from Walter Annenberg's Triangle Publications. After significant growth in the cable industry, Gerry Lenfest sold 50% of Lenfest Communications to TeleCommunications Inc. which was subsequently acquired by AT&T. Chase started his Family Office shortly after the sale to monitor his diversified holdings and support his philanthropic interests. Chase maintains a diversified portfolio of real estate holdings, which include Davenport Investments, LLC, a domestic real estate portfolio company, Lenfest Jamaica Investments, LLC, which holds properties in the Montego Bay area of Jamaica and Infinite Wealth, LLC, which invests in properties on the Florida Gulf Coast. Chase makes direct investments in growing private companies via Cramer Mountain Growth Partners and Dublin Capital Partners, LP. In 2007, Chase went on to build the Lenfest Center, a 52,000 sq. ft. facility in North Philadelphia. The Center operates as its own private operating foundation with Chase as its Board President. The Center endeavors to provide services to the children in Philadelphia's Hunting Park neighborhood.
