The development team targets select markets with stringent criteria, such as robust population growth, a high percentage of renters versus owner-occupied housing, employer expansion, low vacancy rates, minimal rent concessions, and central locations with access to amenities.
For each market and project, our team engages a comprehensive market study from The Concord Group, a third-party market intelligence firm, to provide insightful context on the multifamily fundamentals of the market area. The Concord Group is a leading real estate market analysis advisor with deep experience and extensive relationships in the multifamily asset types.
The Concord Group guides our team in designing the unit layouts, mix, and sizes to ensure that our design incorporates market intelligence to maximize the project's gross revenue.
Our team follows a stringent underwriting process with specific metrics that must be achieved to proceed with the development. The project's lender underwriters scrutinize these metrics to ensure that they meet their requirements. A few key metrics that we will not allow a project to move forward without being greater than a 14% investor internal rate of return (IRR), no less than a 5.5% untrended yield on cost (YOC), executed guaranteed maximum price that matches the financial model, minimum investor equity multiplier (EM) greater than 1.75x.
At the heart of our developments is a commitment to both exceptional user experience and environmental sustainability. We achieve this by adhering to the highest sustainability standards, such as Passive House and Living Building Challenge certifications. Our holistic approach considers every stage of the project lifecycle, encompassing operational and embodied carbon, water and energy efficiency, and the well-being of residents. Mass Timber construction is key to our success, reducing carbon emissions while promoting health through biophilic design.
We utilize Guaranteed Maximum Price Contracts (GMP) with C.D. Smith Construction to provide certainty in hard cost pricing and mitigate construction inflation risk during the project’s construction life cycle.
An interest rate cap is an insurance policy on a floating rate, most frequently the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Our team works with experienced derivative traders to hedge against our project's interest rate risk and mitigate any downside risk generally associated with floating-rate construction loans.
Real estate taxes are typically the largest expense for a real estate investment. By integrating granular real estate tax analysis from Ryan Tax, we create the most informed financial models with regard to taxes.
Tax Deductions: We search far and wide with our tax accountants to find the most advantageous tax deductions available for our projects, to provide the best tax
