Our Approach


We acquire complex large-format commercial real estate assets and reimagine them to drive community impact.

We have a comprehensive double-bottom line approach where we focus on value creation for our communities and stakeholders. Our team approach is designed to engage with local municipal and community constituencies, local and national tenants, and our asset clients; with the objective of creating win-win outcomes for all parties.

Standards

We selectively target transitional assets that fit our investment criteria. These attributes focus on complex properties with: 

  • Strong demographic tailwinds 

  • Meaningful density supportive of long-term demand; and 

  • Potential for community alignment for asset enhancement 

We work closely with our tenants to improve operations and the long-term viability of our assets.

Reinvigoration

Our objective is to reinvigorate and build upon the original purpose of each of our assets. We do this with a keen focus on driving local impact, understanding the needs of our communities, and applying best practices for long-term sustainability. 

Talent

We are composed of a team of dedicated professionals who have passion for revitalizing challenged real estate assets, while having meaningful and sustainable impact on communities across the United States. 

Our Team

Our team comprises a tailored cross-section of expertise along with a broad network of relationships, to navigate the complexities of reinvigorating challenged commercial real estate projects. In addition to our deep real estate and impact investment expertise, we have a long history in urban planning, economic development, and public-private partnerships. We also have a collective commitment to drive positive change for each community we serve.
