STRATEGIC COMPONENTS

  • The Right Product

    We assess the fundamental product type — e.g., office, industrial, apartments, retail, mixed-use, family housing, senior living–and determine the opportunities for this product. Our objective is to identify products that have superior locations, broad tenant appeal and a timeless design that utilizes quality materials and construction.

  • The Right Market

    We utilize our in-depth knowledge of the specific markets and property types to assess the economics of both the project and the market. We focus on primary and secondary markets with characteristics that include growing populations, expanding workforce, low unemployment, rising median household income, strength in promising industries, pro-business environment, solid education base and high quality of life.

  • The Right Investment

    We strive for a diversified portfolio of investments in ground-up developments and acquisitions of institutional grade commercial real estate. CRB believes that development is where value is most consistently created in real estate over the long term, but recognizes the benefit of select acquisitions at opportunistic points in the cycle.

  • The Right Partner

    The true value of our real estate investments stems from the Developer Partner relationship. We carefully analyze each developer’s character, operations and experience. In order to maximize value and mitigate risk, we select developers who are experts in particular property types. We seek developers who have survived up and down markets and we typically require each developer to provide a portion of the total equity.

Negatives of Property Investing

  • Long term investment - the investment needs to be held for a long period of time
  • No trial period - Once an agreement is entered into and contracts are signed, any change of heart will involve the whole sale process including disposal costs and legal fees
  • Illiquidity - property is relatively illiquid and can take time to sell
  • Direct responsibilities - property managers are essential unless you can manage your own investments, in which case you will need to understand your commitments in this regard
  • Costs - such as property tax and capital gains tax upon sale can impact greatly on the actual returns
