Praelium Commercial Real Estate is a dynamic business driven by ever-changing tenant requirements, demographic trends, technological innovation, and global capital flows. With this perspective, Praelium has consistently executed an investment strategy built on its core investment principles:

Market Selection

Invest in “talent cluster” markets where high-quality employers and employees choose to locate, creating strong and consistent leasing demand.

Asset Selection

Acquire and develop properties that, by virtue of location, physical quality, amenities, or other distinct features, can be positioned to offer sustainable and differentiated leasing advantages over their competition.

Add Value

Focus on situations where there are financial or operating issues that, when rectified, will create a stabilized investment with a durable income stream and broad appeal to institutional buyers.

Active Management

Actively manage all stages of the investment to create additional value and mitigate any potential downside given the dynamics of an ever-changing market and set of circumstances specific to each property.

Leverage & Exit Timing

Maintain control over exit timing by using leverage that will enhance investment returns while not putting the property at risk during periods when leasing markets soften or capital markets become constrained.

Understand Risk & Return

Measure investment performance by multiple metrics (IRR, equity multiple, leveraged and unleveraged return on cost) to properly assess the investments’ risk/reward profile.
