Investment Focus

We focus on middle-market multifamily, office and special situations. Our team stays involved from underwriting and acquisition through operations, capital improvements, financing and the eventual sale.

Due Diligence

We test underwriting against local leasing activity, operating costs and property conditions. Conversations with people working in the market help us assess demand, capital needs and the practical risks of execution.

Local Relationships

Our network includes operators, investors, property managers, brokers, lenders, workout teams, general contractors and subcontractors. We build these relationships carefully and draw on them throughout an investment, from sourcing through ownership.

Our Investment Focus.

Property Types

Multifamily. We target Class B+ and A apartment communities in markets with:

  1. Relative strength and constrained supply (low starts and deliveries)

  2. 2010 + vintage,

  3. 30%+ discounted basis.

  4. 15%+ IRR.

Office. We target very asymmetric risk-return in well-located, multi-tenant Class B+ and A suburban office buildings in sub markets with relative strength, at a significantly discounted entry price.


Special Situations

We also evaluate opportunities shaped by financing constraints, ownership transitions or operating challenges. We examine acquisition basis, cash flow, capital requirements and execution risk, and test the business plan against local conditions before committing capital.


Target Markets

Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas; Minneapolis–St. Paul, Minnesota.


Middle-Market Focus

$10M to $50M in total capitalization.

 

Hands-On Value Creation.

We look for properties where a functional operating plan can improve cash flow and long-term value. Local market knowledge helps us test the work, cost and timing involved. We evaluate opportunities with:

  • Operations that would benefit from closer oversight

  • Rents below supported local comparables

  • Vacancy above comparable properties in the submarket

  • Ownership or management transitions

  • Deferred maintenance or outdated spaces

 

Our team works with local operators and contractors to carry out the property’s business plan:

  • Review utilities and cost recovery

  • Oversee targeted interior improvements

  • Address building and exterior needs

  • Manage budgets and operating costs

  • Improve the resident and tenant experience

  • Evaluate additional income opportunities

  • Coordinate leasing and renewals
