Clients.  Advisors’ clients include:

• Return-oriented investors made up of institutional investors, private funds, operating companies and high net worth investors;

• Asset-oriented investors desiring to acquire or develop real estate on a speculative basis or for specific tenant leases.

Lender-Sourced Opportunities.  Advisors’ Investor Practice is expanding due to our increasing work for lenders on distressed real estate loans and REO dispositions.  

• Advisors’ lender assignments provide us the opportunity to identify real estate assets that are available for acquisition at opportunistic prices or in need of additional equity.

• Our lender clients often request us to introduce them to investors that are interested in acquiring distressed real estate loans and REO assets on a negotiated basis.

• Advisors provides valuable transaction guidance and investment strategy recommendations as a result of the detailed investment analysis and comprehensive investment packages that we complete for lenders.  

Sponsorship and Asset Management Roles.  In addition to identifying and evaluating investment opportunities, Advisors can also serve as the sponsor and hands-on asset manager to execute the recommended investment strategies chosen by our clients. 

• Through these roles, we can bring a wider range of opportunities to passive investors since the assets we are involved with often need to be further entitled, completed or repositioned to maximize returns.

• These categories of assets are in relatively ample supply with lenders, vis-à-vis commercial assets, most of which are not being dealt with aggressively by lenders at this point in the real estate cycle.

• These types of assets are also available at the greatest price discounts (from lenders and other distressed owners) and offer the highest upside potential.

Build-to-Suit and Acquire-to-Suit Investors.  Advisors also serves investors and developers that pursue build-to-suit or acquire-to-suit opportunities leased to third-party tenants (or for speculative lease-ups).  In this role, we assist clients needing to undertake planning, entitlement, renovation or development activities in conjunction with the acquisition or development of a specific retail, office, industrial or hospitality facility.  We also assist clients looking to execute strategic investment programs.
