AREA Property Partners pursues a range of real estate investments that offer the opportunity for highly attractive risk-adjusted returns, whether through its opportunity funds, value-enhancement funds or its lending business. Area Property PArtners' investment strategy seeks to exploit the arbitrage between the high demand and liquidity for stabilized, core real estate assets and the relatively low demand and liquidity for assets that require strong real estate skills to improve them. The firm looks for situations in which investments can be made at an attractive cost basis and in which value can be enhanced through intensive operational and financial management. They often source investments by teaming up with joint venture partners with excellent access to off-market transaction flow. AREA Property Partners seeks to add value, with proven local partners, through aggressive asset management.
