Our Approach

We create value in commercial real estate based on the following ideas:

1. Reasonable Basis – We acquire well-located but under performing real estate at reasonable basis. Acquisition discipline (not over-paying) is a cornerstone of our investments. This is one of our largest challenges in today’s investment markets which are flush with equity capital. It is all about the basis.

2. Moderately Leveraged Capital Stack – We use favorable debt financing with a moderate loan to value ratio and higher debt coverage ratios. This allows for unanticipated events without putting our equity investment at risk.

3. Leasing – We have a keen focus on leasing to increase occupancy & net operating income.

4. Improvements – We make appropriate physical improvements to the real estate to make it more attractive to tenants. We do not over-improve the asset. Again, it is all about the basis. We target LEED certification on all our assets.

5. Customer Focus – We are highly responsive and customer focused in our property management. We make sure our tenants are satisfied and happy. This builds tenant loyalty. It is all about the tenants. Without tenants, it doesn't matter how low your basis is.

6. Relationships – We make a point of building positive relationships with key tenant decision makers. We take the time to understand their business. We craft leases that are responsive to their business plans. This personal approach increases tenant retention and minimizes expensive vacancies due to tenant roll-over.

7. Capital Markets – We are cognizant of capital markets conditions. When conditions are favorable, we sell assets.
