About Us
Investing in Temporarily Undervalued Real Estate
Proven Track Record
Founded in 2009, we have invested during a financial crisis, Covid, and rising interest rates, yet have consistently delivered double-digit returns in every project we have undertaken.
Extensive Experience
Our team has closed over 100 deals totaling more than $4B in transactions. Our founder has been a corporate real estate executive and entrepreneurial investor for 20 years.
Strategic Focus
We acquire overlooked or out-of-favor assets at uniquely compelling prices. We also offer credit enhancement solutions to other like-minded entrepreneurial sponsors.
Our Investment Approach
Divergent Approach
We acquired retail and industrial properties in Western growth markets when no one was buying them after the financial crisis. We bought office buildings in pro-business high-growth cities after Covid. When the pendulum of fear swings too far, we lean in. Simply put, we buy overlooked or out-of-favor assets at compelling price points. We maintain a flexible mandate based on our collective diversified experience to maximize investment outcomes.
Vigilant Risk Management
While we've experienced unforeseen speed bumps, we've always generated positive returns, partially due to our key risk management tenets:
→ Utilize leverage sparingly if at all in preparation for an uncertain future
→ Maintain a flexible investment horizon
→ Manage investor and partner expectations and communicate frequently
Active Asset Management
We take a four-pronged approach:
  1. Maintain flexibility to exit at maximum value through seller financing, partnership, and other creative structures
  1. Constantly evaluate alternative business plans and uses
  1. Reduce operating expenses aggressively and continually
  1. Pursue pro-active, grass-roots leasing or sale strategies
