Development Activity

We engage in the ground up construction of hotels, mixed-use projects anchored by hotels, as well as climate controlled self-storage.

​

Our preferred approach is to partner or joint venture with additional developers to bring scale to projects that are unique and destination-oriented. In particular, when we develop a hotel asset or mixed-use project, our focus is on targeting situations where true design architecture can be deployed to create memorable and desirable experiences for the users. 

​

We target selective self-storage development opportunities because we believe in the long-term viability of the asset class and its risk/return profile.  Through our relationship with two major self-storage REITs, we identify southeastern markets underserved by Class A climate controlled storage space and exploit those gaps. 

Our overall development strategy is defined by building institutional-quality developments for our account (or in investment partnerships) for intermediate- and long-term hold periods.

​

Acquisition Targets

When considering acquisitions, we typically focus on hotel, life-style retail and self-storage assets but we also favor properties with in-place triple net or net lease structures such as industrial and stand-alone office and retail.  We also pursue niche property types and special situations.
