Deliberate Market Selection.
We focus on urban property markets with:
Barriers to entry: new supply is constrained due to geographic, regulatory, and political constraints
Educated, skilled, and growing populations proximate to world-class educational and research institutions
A diverse and growing employment base located within commuting distance to major employment centers with access to efficient mass-transit systems
Focused Property Identification.
We identify under-valued properties facing challenges such as:
Poor marketing
Management problems
Deferred maintenance, environmental contamination, and legal disputes
Owners with limited time to sell
Value-Enhancement & Risk-Mitigation Through Professional, Active Management.
Lakeside leverages the expertise of its affiliate companies to enhance values in a number of ways including:
Raising property value through effective marketing, capital improvements, and tenant services
Negotiating improved rental rates by understanding leasing market conditions
Reducing operating expenses through efficient vendor management and justifiable system upgrades
Appropriate Financing Strategy.
