Primera+ Competitive Advantage
Asset Repositioning
Asset Repositioning employs the strategic use of renovations and improvements to ensure the highest and best use of underperforming real estate assets
Many real estate vehicles, including REITs, are structurally excluded from purchasing underperforming assets, which can represent significant value liberation when improved
Midmarket Niche
Midmarket assets are too large for private investors, yet are too small for most institutional investors, creating an opportunity for uncompressed returns
Mismanaged or transitioning portfolios present an opportunity for private takeover or acquisition
Economic Development
Expected continuation of growth and development across Ontario, particularly along the Highway 401 corridor with strong economic growth from Toronto market spillover
Demand is strong across many sub-sectors: light industrial for logistics, medium industrial for advanced manufacturing, premium office space and retail repositioning
Capital Efficiency
Operating companies are increasingly preferring to deploy capital held in their real estate to drive higher operational growth and returns. This has resulted in a favourable market of quality investment properties
Structure
Capital scale allows for investment in a segment out of reach of individual investors, where there is a larger opportunity for uncompressed returns
Agile movement in the market through structural integration results in seized opportunities that would normally be lost to those who are not as nimble
Market Entrenchment
Unparalleled access to deals before they are widely promoted or would otherwise remain unavailable allows for non-competitive asset acquisition
Exclusive market insight stemming from involvement in the industry and access to proprietary reports unavailable to outside investors
Portfolio Management
Experience and relationships enhance risk mitigation and drive actualization of value where others cannot
Asset improvements are quickly realized through exclusive industry partners
Proven performance leveraging unique industry relationships allows for superior asset management, from lease pricing premiums, superior occupancy rates, and avoidance of deferred maintenance
