“We don’t play kids soccer; while other real estate investors are chasing the same “ball”, we are constantly looking for the open field where we are often able to uncover great investment results.”
By focusing on urban-core locations in select markets, projects leverage higher value to users
Projects that enhance the urban environment are supported by City Councils and Planning Staff
We develop wider networks around preferred individuals and organizations who share common values around community, sustainability and quality of life; and who actively support our urban redevelopment strategies to local government authority
We build stronger communities by working towards win-win outcomes
Merchant House Capital targets projects that are:
Nearing the point of requiring renewed investment
Assets restrained by lack of investment, modern utility, or ownership limitations
Experiencing a generational shift in ownership that has interrupted reinvestment/discipline in asset management
Aging buildings and evolving needs that no longer meet demand
Projects with “hair” that are difficult for many to understand, meaning less competition
Determine the optimum property type for the market based on demand—then go find it
Flexibility on terms allows value to be created from day 1
Alignment of property business plan with emerging trends in real estate
Experience in solving RE problems most other developers are not willing to take on
Pick our spots…location, location, location
Vendors receive fair compensation at terms that allow us to create value
Buildings that would typically be torn down by ground-up developers are often maintained and improved upon, reducing timelines, holding costs, and development risk
Innovation through design, marketing, and entitlement means faster timelines and higher end values
Investors benefit from strong investment returns and recognition of core values: sustainability, conservation, market innovation and lower overall risk
