EMPIRE  REALTY PARTNERS

 

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 the world’s leading institutions, lenders, special servicers, property owners, national and regional brokers, advisors, and other market players to source proprietary off-market deals.  

• Deliver superior 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.

• Obtain attractive financing for capital intensive projects through established institutional lender and equity partner relationships.  Proven experience utilizing EB-5 financing programs to provide more efficient and longer-term capital for select investments.

• Develop strategic operating relationships with industry-leading hospitality operators and the top residential sales and marketing firms.

• Focus on undervalued opportunities in central business districts of top tier cities and select emerging markets with strong fundamentals.
