Investment Strategies

Life will be different Post-COVID. Our team is positioned well with the track record and relationships to source high quality risk adjusted real estate investments.

Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing

Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing

Given the lack of affordability in California coastal communities, we are focused on developing ground-up micro-unit multi-family housing located in walkable neighborhoods in both urban and suburban environments. This housing is affordable by design where the neighborhood and location are the amenities. We then use a “needs-based” approach allowing for lower than average rent level for that particular community.

ith a strong construction team and a background in ground up development, our team thrives in value-add investments.

Can we shorten the rest of this???

Adaptive Re-Use

There is no doubt that our economy is changing, and we expect to see a significant reduction in brick-and-mortar retail and office. We focus on assets with “good bones” in need of capital expenditure, while also looking to satisfy current market demand.

Using our deep understanding of entitlements, along with our construction expertise, we expect to see an increase in reuse opportunities.

Covered Land Plays

Since our inception, our firm has specialized in unlocking value through in-depth code review and analysis. As municipalities transform, often the current use isn’t the highest and best use for that particular piece of land. Through covered land plays our team acquires commercial assets at capitalization rate valuations exhibiting exceptional upside potential from redevelopment. Downside protection is achieved via the existing income stream and current land use.

This strategy involves vision, forward thinking and knowledge of long-term planning efforts within a particular municipality.
