What are Shopoff’s Avenues for Value Creation?
There are several ways to create value when investing in a real estate asset.
The below list highlights some of the techniques Shopoff may utilize to accomplish value creation.
Repositioning Modifying an asset’s current use to better fit current market demands. For example, if a portion of the property is a vacant former big box retailer, we can segment the space into several smaller retail spaces.
Rehabilitation Making physical improvements to the property. This allows Shopoff the opportunity to elevate a property’s status in the market by improving physical defects an making capital improvements.For example, transforming an industrial building into a urban mixed use community, such as our Uptown Newport project.
Recapitalization Assets that are financially unstable can often provide Shopoff the opportunity to adjust the in-place financing, achieving better loan terms or a different capital mix, which may make the property more stable overall.
Entitlements Obtaining land use approvals on raw land that allow a property to be developed in a specific manner, and ultimately sold to a builder.*
Repurposing Changing to a higher and better use the through re entitlement or other methods. For example, re-entitling land with existing infrastructure, which will allow for redevelopment and sale to a builder.
The above strategies are primarily, but not exclusively, utilized for raw land, improved land with existing infrastructure, assets that have existing commercial use, or assets that have a combination of a commercial and other components. These strategies add value to those assets achieving their highest and best use, at which time they will be sold.
