• Our Investment Strategy

    Lakeside is committed to generating attractive risk-adjusted returns by purchasing well-located, under-valued properties, improving operating performance, and by leveraging our capital markets expertise to maximize proceeds on sale.

    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.
    With its capital markets expertise and relationships with real estate finance companies, Lakeside is able to enhance its investors’ returns by obtaining attractive mortgage financing terms.
