  • Create long-term value through execution and a hands-on management approach
  • Align interests between principals and investors through transparency and significant capital commitment
  • Target investment themes based on macroeconomic and real estate market trends
  • Identify mispriced opportunities not recognized by the broader market

Value-Added Repositioning

  • Opportunities focused on value creation as opposed to “quick flips”
  • Properties that are under-managed or under-capitalized
  • Opportunities mispriced or undetected by the current market
  • Continuation of successful investment practice in all property types

Distressed Situations

  • Work within existing capital structures to restructure loans
  • Identify properties in special servicing, foreclosure, and bankruptcy
  • Maximize returns by adding value through ability to take control of properties
