Our Strategy
We put our tenants and business partners in front of everything else and that is not a strategy it is our philosophy!
We pursue a twofold corporate strategy in the sphere of real estate investment: Our first priority is to put the well being of our tenant up front, always! We are managing our properties just the way we would like to be treated if we were living in our building. Secondly, we always pay our equity partners at first through either a preferred rate of return or a greater share of the partnership (ex: 65%-35%).
Investment Strategy
Our acquisition and value-adding strategy is straightforward: We target under managed investment opportunities in the multi-residential properties space in key geographical areas in the United States and Canada. Before each acquisition, minimum financial return criteria and estimations are modeled. One of our key financial rules is that a property must cash flow positively from the date of purchase, reducing the risk of short or medium term losses. Once a property is acquired, existing management approach is improved, and overseen by our property management team to ensure a positive value creation to our partners. ​

Emerging Markets
An emerging market is generally defined by the leadership and growth seen in a specific region or city. It is possible to identify such market by observing few economic indicators such as job and population growth, company relocation in the area, new construction, etc. More specifically, the growth should be perceivable through rental price increases, high employment growth and various other macro-economic data. ​
