At Yield Edge Capital, we specialize in value-add commercial real estate (CRE) investments with a focus on multi-tenant retail and industrial properties. Our goal is to unlock the potential of underperforming assets through strategic improvements, effective leasing, and operational efficiencies. Below is an overview of our key investment strategies for these property types:
Value-Add Multi-Tenant Retail
We actively seek multi-tenant retail properties that offer opportunities to increase value through strategic improvements and operational enhancements. Our investment focus includes, but is not limited to:
Investment Criteria
- Location: Prime and secondary markets with strong demographic trends and high foot traffic.
- Property Size: Typically 20,000 to 200,000 square feet.
- Tenant Mix: Properties with a diverse mix of tenants or potential to add tenants that serve the local community’s needs.
- Opportunity for Rent Growth: Underperforming assets or those with below-market rents and significant upside potential.
- Tenant Stability: Preference for properties with a mix of national, regional, and local tenants, as well as opportunities for lease-up in vacancies.
- Dated or Non-Optimal Design: Properties with outdated layouts, poor curb appeal, or inefficient space configurations that can be repositioned or reconfigured to attract better tenants.
Investment Strategy
- Repositioning: Modernizing and improving common areas, signage, parking, and landscaping to increase curb appeal and draw traffic.
- Lease-Up & Tenant Retention: Strengthening tenant mix by signing new leases, negotiating renewals, or reworking lease terms to maximize rental income.
- Active Property Management: Aggressive leasing strategies, cost reductions, and operational efficiencies to enhance cash flow.
What We’re Looking For
- Shopping centers, strip malls, or smaller retail centers in growth markets
- Underperforming centers with the potential for a repositioning strategy or those needing operational improvements
- Properties that require significant tenant leasing or re-tenanting
Value-Add Industrial
We are also focused on value-add industrial properties, capitalizing on the continued growth of e-commerce and the increasing demand for distribution and logistics facilities. Our goal is to acquire properties with untapped potential and turn them into high-performing assets through operational improvements and capital upgrades.
Investment Criteria
- Location: Proximity to major transportation corridors, ports, or distribution hubs in both primary and secondary markets.
- Property Size: Typically 50,000 to 500,000 square feet (flexible depending on the opportunity).
- Building Type: Flex spaces, warehouses, last-mile distribution centers, or light industrial facilities.
- Opportunity for Rent Growth: Assets with rent below market value, short-term leases, or properties with a clear path to repositioning or improving rents.
- Tenant Demand: Properties with strong tenant demand or those that can be repositioned to appeal to tenants in high-demand sectors such as e-commerce, manufacturing, or logistics.
Investment Strategy
- Building Upgrades: Modernizing facilities with new roofing, HVAC, lighting, and updated loading docks to appeal to a broader tenant base.
- Lease Renewal & Expansion: Securing long-term tenants or negotiating lease extensions for stability. We also look for opportunities to subdivide or expand the footprint to accommodate growing businesses.
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlining property management processes, reducing operational costs, and enhancing tenant amenities to improve overall value and tenant retention.
What We’re Looking For
- Industrial properties in high-demand logistics markets
- Buildings with outdated infrastructure or designs but potential for capital improvements and modernization
- Distribution centers, warehouse facilities, or flex buildings requiring repositioning
