With a complex, integrated approach to managing real estate projects, Afflatus Development combines the roles of capital manager and project manager in raising money to finance development and added value projects, while managing them profitably for investors.
Our innovative approach combines land banking and asset management with minimal or no equity. An effective strategy is executed by the right acquisitions and management of the project, followed by appropriate financing after the value is added.
We are focused on obtaining the highest possible risk-adjusted returns through acquisitions and development, with a focus on development and Added-Value projects.
ASSET LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT
The asset lifecycle management is the stages taken to determine if investors should exit, keep, or repurpose the property. In a value-added investment, the million-dollar question is whether to hold the property, repurpose, develop, improve, or exit. Value yields can be enhanced by “sweating” assets, increasing occupancy and rent, and minimizing non-recoverable expenses. As our core competency lies in the Asset Management side of the Real Estate universe, we manage the properties through our trusted partners who have extensive experience in that field.
INVESTMENT TYPE
DEVELOPMENT BASED INVESTMENT
VALUE-ADD BASED INVESTMENT
DEVELOPMENT
Value is created at every stage of action when the development is carried out successfully. The goal is to maximize the profit while simultaneously minimizing the risk. Our in-house development management expertise combined with our longstanding affiliations with experienced consultants and associates allows us to stay at the forefront of our projects and deliver exceptional value.
VALUE-ADD
A well-located, under-performing asset with good turnaround or enhancement potential is the kind of asset we seek to invest in. Afflatus identifies and acts on value-enhancing opportunities without compromising the client’s threshold for risk. For every property we acquire, we develop a tangible and comprehensive plan for maximizing its future value – including an exit strategy for locking in future gains.
INVESTMENT STRUCTURE
Whether it be a Limited – General partnership, corporation, or joint venture, before we decide how to structure any project, we consider the nature of the project, tax, timeline, etc.
In addition to our hands-on experience, we gather and implement the advice of lawyers and CPA’s to make sure we make the soundest decision for legal structure.
Our goal at Afflatus is to make investment opportunities available to investors of all levels of income so that everyone can be part of the added value we provide to communities and the larger population in aggregate.
