Maintain a Global Perspective As globalization makes the world increasingly interdependent, we believe it is vital to recognize the shifting tides in global markets, understand their potential impact on U.S.-based investments, and take proactive steps to enhance our position and that of our partners. In addition, the U.S. has become a preferred investment destination once again, but many international investors lack knowledge of U.S markets, entitlement processes, and relevant regulations and tax laws. JJM Realty Partners is ideally suited to bring decades of industry and local market experience to addressing these challenges on behalf of its international and domestic partners. Focus on Secondary and Tertiary U.S. Markets While we’ve had tremendous success in gateway markets, we believe a great deal of opportunity lay in secondary and tertiary markets such as Richmond, Pittsburgh, Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte and many others. A lower barrier to entry, higher income and cash yields, and an overall lower risk profile make a secondary market strategy attractive to a wider variety of investment partners in the today’s economic climate. (See list of markets.) Build a Diversified Investment Profile Our depth and breadth of experience in commercial real estate make us ideally suited to build a diversified profile that includes core, value-add, and opportunistic investments in the $15 million to $50 million range for single properties, and the $50 million to $150+ million range for portfolios. These are spread across a variety of asset classes that include retail centers, multi-family communities, for-sale housing, office space, hotels and storage facilities. (See investment criteria.) Embrace Innovation and Prepare for the Future JJM Realty Partners prides itself on developing innovative investment solutions with its partners, while also looking ahead to see where and how innovation in the marketplace is changing the CRE landscape. New financing models, the impact of sustainability initiatives on operations, the rise of the collaborative economy, and new technologies are just a few trends that will eventually impact long-term value generation and short-term profitability. Understanding how and when that will happen is critical to evolving our investment strategies and helping our partners succeed. |
