How We Think

The keys to a successful investment...

Financial performance and excellent risk adjusted returns are an absolutely critical part of a good investment. A successful investment in commercial office properties has a number of other important characteristics as well, including stability of cash flows, correlation of the asset to other investments, time horizons, taxes, and protection from losses due to inflation or market downturns.

We look for excellent real estate with sound fundamentals that will be profitable over the long haul.

Value-driven, shoe-leather entrepreneurs...

The REVA team pays attention to all of these factors, staying abreast of the latest academic research and market analysis while also pounding the pavement and talking to the locals everywhere we invest. We look for excellent real estate with sound fundamentals that will be profitable over the long haul.

No stone left unturned...

We dive deep into the data to understand demographic trends, population growth statistics, income quintiles, job growth, tax regimes and the political climate in every market and submarket where we invest. We study the real estate, the tenants, the business climate and only select assets that are primed for superior performance.

Our surveys include personal inspections of the target property and all of the competitive set in the area....conversations with vendors, tenants and leasing brokers are all part of the selection process.

Attention to every detail...

Careful attention to details like parking ratios, signalized intersections, ingress and egress, and local traffic patterns are critical factors. We then add another layer with investigations of utilities, water and sewer infrastructure, power supply, cable and internet access and numerous other factors that have a dramatic influence on tenant satisfaction. Our surveys include personal inspections of the target property and all of the competitive set in the area. Conversations with vendors, tenants and leasing brokers are all part of the selection process.

Selecting properties that provide investors value...

Our emphasis remains solidly on cash flow at the property level and strong demographic and economic trends in the local area market where we invest. We have a slightly contrarian approach, as large institutions gravitate to bigger deals in the biggest US cities, we see tremendous value in secondary markets and smaller transactions.

Acquisition is just the beginning...

The acquisition of the target office building is just the beginning. Delivering great results requires considerable expertise, sustained effort and constant vigilance...year in and year out. REVA remains on the job for our investors for many years, protecting their interests and working to ensure the most favorable outcomes possible in good markets and in challenging times. We take great pride in being active, hands-on operators and our clients take great comfort in knowing that we are diligent over decades.

How We Deliver

1

Experience

Experience is invaluable in assessing opportunities in commercial real estate investments. We draw on more than 40 years of experience and use that to guide our efforts not only in lessons learned of what works well, but also in striving to be different having not been satisfied with doing things the same way everyone else does them.

2

Committment

There is no substitute for involved, committed and focused people. At REVA the impact of our commitment is evidenced by two things, financial performance of our properties and the personal service our clients receive. The REVA team is always available, always listening and always looking for opportunities to have a meaningful impact on behalf of our clients.

Preparation

Our future is one of growth and opportunity. A changing economic environment, interest rate dynamics, new securities laws and regulatory revisions all create significant profit potential. The future is very bright…especially for those who are prepared!

The REVA Advantage Provides Resiliency During Trying Times

The continued complications surrounding COVID-19 have placed an unprecedented strain on the economy. In 2020, office-connected employment fell by 3.4%, commercial real estate deal volume was down nearly 50% and vacancy rates grew by 40 basis points to 14.2%.

Despite these challenging market trends, REVA has continued to excel for our investors by utilizing our concerted advantages. Our small and nimble team allows us to pivot when necessary, our granular understanding of local markets and tenants allows us to discern opportunities from losses, and the principles that we founded our company on were established to endure for our investors' through thick and thin.

Moreover, the future is bright. Deal volume in 4th quarter 2020 doubled the prior quarter and a sustained recovery is taking hold. Office development has been restrained over the last decade, meaning commercial real estate is primed to take off once the economy is fully recovered. While work from home will undoubtedly be a part of many businesses’ work schedules, the productivity, culture and innovation advantages that are unique to the office-environment are irreplaceable. Our portfolio of low-rise, suburban and flex space is perfectly suited for businesses in the post-pandemic economy.

The REVA Advantage will always deliver for our investors.
