American Realty Advisors: Takeover Property Services

We believe in results. Perhaps one of the strongest testaments of our tactical real estate expertise is that on 17 occasions, American has been hired to provide takeover property services for single assets or portfolios from other managers or pension funds.

American offers its tactical real estate expertise to clients by taking over the asset management responsibilities for individual assets or portfolios of properties, loans, joint ventures, or other real estate investments, including in some cases replacing a general partner (or managing member) of single entities or funds to operate and manage the ownership. These services are often provided to clients who have encountered investment manager organizational changes as well as potentially distressed, underperforming, neglected and mismanaged real estate. We have added value in each of these takeover assignments and have been allocated new investment capital by those clients with ongoing real estate investment programs.

Services provided may include:

repositioning properties with low occupancy rates or below-market rents, inadequate debt servicing capabilities, high operating expenses, deferred maintenance and/or physical/structural issues
rectifying ineffective market strategies and weak tenant composition
curing or mitigating functional/economic obsolescence or location and marketing deficiencies
repairing ill-perceived project image and inadequate property management
oversight of incomplete capital projects
acquisition/disposition consulting and analysis
providing valuation management and oversight, solvency opinions, strategic asset rebalancing, debt evaluation/analysis and special project review analysis
