Sectors

Industrial

Our industrial assets include well-located flex and small bay products located in dense, affluent, in-fill, and/or supply-constrained markets.  We seek to provide a "last mile" solution where distribution, light manufacturing, and services business can be proximate to their customer base.  Target geographies include primary and secondary markets in the Northeast and Midwest US.

Self-Storage

Our storage assets include multistory climate-controlled and drive-up products located in dense, affluent, in-fill, and/or supply-constrained markets.  Acquisition targets have a compelling value-add story with multiple levers to generate value.  Development targets are 'A' sites where untrended yield on costs greater than 10% can be achieved with realistic underwriting assumptions.  National in scope, but with an emphasis on major MSAs in the Northeast, Southeast, & Midwest US.

Opportunistic

We pursue opportunistic co-GP and JV investments leverating a broad network and partner-centric mentality.  We target investment and development opportunities with strong risk and return profiles, where we can add value through our knowledge and speed of execution.
