Strategy

With a long-horizon approach, Cox invests in high-quality real estate with a disciplined strategy and commitment to providing attractive, risk-adjusted returns

Leveraging our broad range of industry connections and experience, we thoughtfully source properties that will most benefit from our investment mandates in the stabilized and trending growth markets we know well

The methods we utilize to gain exposure to relationship-based deal flow are hyper-focused on our targeted investment criteria, allowing us to identify candidates, read opportunities and act swiftly in a competitive marketplace

Direct to Lender

Building a direct relationship and maintaining contact with lenders and their Special Servicer offers a less competitive environment and provides the highest potential for repeatable business. Dealing directly with the funding source, we can examine the nonperformance and vacancy statistics of their loan portfolios before being offered through traditional methods

Exclusivity

Forging strong relationships with local brokers to bring awareness to our specific mandates and demonstrating competence in our ability to transact smoothly give us repeatable exposure to off-market deals. Established alliances with industry professionals in our target markets is a fundamental way to gain access to sellers who desire discreet transactions

Digital Tools

Tech and data driven market intelligence, when paired with proprietary AI extraction, allow us to analyze investment feasibility in an accelerated and efficient manner. This vigilant prospecting outreach gives us first-in-line exposure to the opportunities that would most benefit from our specific investment mandates and value-creation strategies

Early Access

Alternative prospecting methods that establish connections to property managers, business brokers and contractors, and industry resources like trade association events, provide us with opportunistic eyes and ears. Physically covering ground in target markets to seek out investment opportunities gives advance access to properties that are off-market

The value creation strategies that Cox utilizes to position investments for both near-term and sustainable growth include:

• Renovation and rebranding of underperforming assets with creative solutions and superior management practices

• Reconfiguring and repositioning large, single-tenant buildings into flexible, multi-unit facilities that serve a variety of industries

• Adaptive reuse of functionally obsolete properties to create products that better meet the needs of the local market

• Development of additional space within stabilized properties to satisfy pent-up demand and maximize asset revenue

• Tech-enabled improvements that create greater management efficiency, energy conservation and enhanced amenities

• Bespoke improvements that are designed to satisfy and retain desirable anchor tenants with favorable lease agreements

The implementation of a post-acquisition management plan is key to structuring a well-defined exit strategy with a maximized asset value. Once a property has joined our portfolio, we continuously elevate operational performance by analyzing revenue, operating costs, tenant feedback and local market comparables
