Our Services
Sourcing
We source institutional grade commercial real estate-related private equity investments through our extensive network of third-party professionals across the US. We focus on income-generating assets in non-gateway metro areas that deliver higher cap rates, and development opportunities that offer returns commensurate with risk.
Due Diligence
We provide comprehensive legal and financial due diligence on all assets prior to acquisition and provide extensive reporting to our clients. We identify deltas in the assets we acquire to add value from day one.
Consulting
We provide in-depth consulting services to family offices and high net worth individuals. With global experience and local expertise in key markets throughout the United States, we are uniquely positioned to advise our clients to increase operational efficiencies through leasing strategy, corporate structuring, and tax advising through our affiliates.
Capital
We advise family offices on accessing and deploying for capital for U.S. acquisitions. We are able to execute deals that are institutional in size with discretionary private capital.
Co-Investment
We co-invest with our clients to to align the interests of investor and sponsor.
Legal
Our attorneys are able to assist with corporate structuring, leasing strategy, capital structures and debt financing as appropriate.
Our Difference
Objectivity
When acquiring individual assets, we focus almost exclusively on buy-side representation, subjecting potential investments to double-blind financial analyses that stress test cash flows and projected performance.
Opportunity
We identify potential roadblocks early in each acquisition, and have the background and practical experience to implement resolutions early and quickly. This approach provides our clients with opportunities to derive the benefit from assets that may have been overlooked by less creative firms. We leverage years of industry experience to identify and create opportunity.
Local Expertise
Asset acquisition for buyers that live in other cities, states, or countries from their target investments is impossible without a strong local presence. Our long-term partnerships with third-party teams of locally licensed attorneys, property inspectors, surveyors, brokers, and other related professionals are experts down to the street where your target asset is located.
Global Experience
We represent institutional and high net worth clients in Asia and worldwide with inbound investing in U.S. commercial real estate, through multiple implementations of local and international regulations. We understand transactional issues based on the needs of foreign investors in their home jurisdiction.
