    At Chatham Bay our core focus is converting or repositioning underutilized properties into high quality assets, in high barrier-to-entry markets, at a stabilized cost basis well below their competitive set.

    Our theory on adding value is simple: we believe adding value in real estate is about superior deal identification & execution skills and not just about cap rate compression and access to inexpensive debt. Our approach to adding value is driven by the following philosophy:

    Be Disciplined

    We pay little attention to newfangled trends in the real estate industry. Fundamentals of supply & demand, the existence of a compelling competitive advantage, and our assessment of our ability to execute are the paramount factors in project selection. Our ability to underwrite the underlying collateral value prior to investment is fundamental to our success.

     

    We seek to identify opportunities and inefficiencies within a given real estate market through an extensive network of real estate professionals, property owners, and municipal officials. Once a potential opportunity is identified, our team will begin a rigorous and systematic analysis of demographic trends, supply/demand fundamentals, and the competitive set in an effort to identify a clear and compelling competitive advantage. Once identified, we will design a value enhancement program to acquire, redevelop, stabilize, and refinance out initial investor equity. We rely on the expertise of our in-house management and operating affiliates for hands-on execution from inception to completion.

     

    Mitigate Risk

    Whenever possible, obtain attractive third-party contributions such as historic tax credits, New Market Tax Credits, governmental programs such as TIFFs, TADs, CDDs, and seller financings to further reduce cost basis and to enable an asset to be the low-cost provider of space in its given market.

    Mitigate risk through phasing, pre-selling, pre-leasing, and re-tenanting.Create dual liquidity options of recapitalization and disposition upon stabilization.

     

    Create Value at Every Stage

    Target disinterested sellers & markets with high barriers-to-competition.

    Acquire at a discount to the competitive set.

    Add value through entitlements & assemblage.

    Create income streams rather than acquiring them.
