As both an owner and operator we are driven to create value through superior execution at each stage of the investment life-cycle.  Our strategic approach is based on these fundamental principles:

  • Invest based on an informed economic viewpoint, in-depth market knowledge, and disciplined analysis.

  • Pursue opportunistic deals with multiple execution strategies and incremental value creation through complex entitlements, new development, and asset repositioning.

  • Build and leverage industry relationships with leading institutions, lenders, property owners, national and regional brokers, advisors, and other market players to source proprietary off-market deals.

  • Project execution driven by a vertically integrated team with expertise in all aspects of investment, development, and operations.

  • Structure downside protection by creating flexibility in project capitalization with a focus on asset preservation.

  • Focus on undervalued opportunities near central business districts and select emerging markets with strong fundamentals.

Pre-Development

  • Project managers and Analysts direct each step of the pre-development process including entitlements, design, budgeting, scheduling and financing using market data to identify opportunities.

Zoning

  • Knowledge of local zoning requirements and experience working directly with municipalities, community groups and local stakeholders to pursue and modify complex land use entitlements.

Architectural Design

  • Experience working with architects, interior design firms, and other design consultants which are directly managed by ACRE’s in-house design professionals.

Financing

  • Expertise in structuring and financing development projects through established relationships with the construction lenders and private equity partners.

Construction

  • Strategic partnerships & in-house construction management team supervises each stage of building construction and third-party general contractors.

Operations

  • Hands-on operations focus and asset management, combined with strategic operating partners, drive incremental performance through improved operations.
