A increasing number of firms are pursuing more affordable suburban apartment developments, which has led to a surge in hybrid work and business-friendly municipal governments wooing them. We foresee a better income return in the near future and the possibility of larger appreciation in the long run, provided that demand rises. We have paid a lower price for these investments than their earnings.
| Property Type | Description | Investment Benefits |
| Office Space | Office buildings range from high-rise towers in central business districts to suburban office parks. They are classified as Class A, B, or C based on location, age, and amenities. | Long-term leases provide stable cash flow. Tenants are often well-established businesses. Class A properties can offer strong appreciation in prime markets. Value-add opportunities exist in Class B and C through renovations and lease-up strategies. |
| Retail | Retail properties include shopping centers, malls, and standalone stores. Tenants range from big-box retailers to local businesses. | Triple net (NNN) leases shift most expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance) to tenants, enhancing investor returns. Prime locations can offer high foot traffic and rental growth. Diverse tenant mix mitigates risk, especially in larger retail centers. Opportunities for redevelopment or repositioning in evolving markets. |
