The opportunity to create value in commercial real estate may come through renovating a property, repositioning it or providing improved hands-on management. In every case, the key to turning opportunity into value is market and industry knowledge and expertise.

Investment Strategy

One of the main objectives of Timberland Partners is to maximize the return on the investment to our investment partners. To accomplish this, we pursue the acquisition of real estate with hidden value. Hidden value may exist in the form of changing market conditions, a rapidly expanding employment market or a well-planned and timely property renovation and re-positioning. Hidden value can also be found in an under-performing asset which will benefit from a revamped and more aggressive management approach.

The Timberland Partners acquisition team is constantly studying various markets and evaluating economic data such as job growth projections, while monitoring apartment sales activity to determine appropriate target markets, in order to identify the best properties for acquisition. Our specialty is to acquire properties that are in good or excellent locations but suffer from various kinds of problems. The Timberland Partners team then goes to work to fix the problems and upgrade the property in a cost effective manner.

One of our core philosophies is to co-invest in every acquisition we make alongside our investment partners. We always take a “hands-on” approach to the management of our properties. Each property we acquire is managed solely by Timberland Partners, and we only manage properties that are in our portfolio. It’s our way of ensuring that our properties are properly cared for in order to maximize returns. Our ultimate goal will always be to maximize both the value of the properties we own and the return on investment paid back to our investment partners.
