Acquisition Strategy
Circle Industrial is focused on industrial real estate exclusively. Our core investment beliefs are to invest defensively, with an eye on functionality, optionality, and upside. As a defensive investor, we look to make certain that our downside in any investment is always limited. This can be accomplished by achieving a reasonable cost basis, having a diverse income stream, credit tenants with long term leases, tenants with significant investment in the asset, and/or flexibility with multiple exit strategies.Once we establish an asset as limited risk, we look for components of key functionality and location. In essence, would the property still be attractive in a tough economy with significant vacant competition and what are demand drivers for the location? Overall, Circle Industrial is focusing on value oriented investments – and we believe that our extensive experience in acquiring and operating industrial assets gives us a better perspective on where and how to invest when compared to most institutional and private investors.
