Strategy
Sealy’s investment strategy involves acquiring investment properties and implementing a plan to add value. Sealy seeks properties with one or more of the following characteristics:
- Marketing, leasing, and/or occupancy issues
- Unrealized value creation opportunities
- Capital constraints
- Ineffective asset or property management
- Ownership issues
In addition, Sealy’s development team focuses on developing build-to-suits and planned speculative properties as strategic investment vehicles for clients. Sealy provides an array of services including conceptual design, project planning, pricing, value engineering, construction management and marketing.
Sealy seeks to acquire and develop properties with one or more of the following characteristics:
- Assets located within markets where there are significant barriers to entry
- Assets that offer a diversification of investment by industrial property type, tenancy, market and submarket, age, use and lease expiration
- Assets located in significant real estate markets which offer proven, strategic opportunities and established infrastructure as well as a historical growth trend in population and jobs
- Assets that are generic in nature and have high functionality across a large tenant base. These properties have lower tenant improvements and make leasing more efficient
- Assets within a local/regional market where fundamentals are improving, thereby creating value at the property level
Sealy has historically acquired properties that are 5%–25% below their replacement cost. Sealy’s expertise in property underwriting, financing, re-development, marketing, leasing, property management and disposition creates significant value and superior returns.
