Real Estate Acquisitions
Private Equity Groups
We have a significant focus on working with private equity and other institutional investors to convert a target company’s real estate holdings into capital that is available to finance the acquisition. This strategy can provide acquisition funding at a lower cost than alternative sources of capital and increase a company’s flexibility with respect to its real estate on a going forward basis.
We also seek to acquire real estate from existing owned portfolios via sale leaseback transactions.
Advantages of partnering with NRF in these situations include:
- Under and non-valued real estate becomes valuable acquisition currency
- Provides lower cost capital than alternative sources
- Obtaining capital from a real estate oriented buyer preserves corporate bond market’s appetite for a company’s debt. Corporate covenants typically not required
- Lock in longer term fixed rate financing while the yield curve is relatively flat
Because of the breadth of investments we seek, NorthStar is uniquely well suited to execute portfolio transactions with differing property attributes such as lease length, thus giving a selling company maximum flexibility and the ability to deal with only one buyer.
NorthStar is a reliable institutional real estate investor. We provide quick response and closing and pay strict attention to your confidentiality concerns.
