acquisition criteria   

The PPA Group seeks value-add investment opportunities located throughout the United States where the company can leverage its acquisition, finance, ownership and operational expertise to maximize operating cash flow and unlock potential value. These opportunities include:
  • Properties that have below-market occupancy rates
  • Properties that have below-market rents
  • Potential for expense savings, renovation and repositioning
  • Other upside opportunities from the implementation of a strategic plan

Real estate assets are cyclical with respect to both operations and valuations, and the best way to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns is by identifying opportunities where the potential for improved operating efficiencies and area demographic trends outweigh the risk of a cyclical downturn.

As a general guideline, PPA looks for investment opportunities in the United States that have the following characteristics:
  • Purchase price of $5 million to $100 million
  • Equity investment of $1 million to $20 million
  • Cash-on-cash returns of 8% or greater
  • Project-level internal rates of return of 20% or greater
  • Below-market occupancy
  • Below-market rents
  • Expense savings
  • Renovation and repositioning
  • Positive regional demographic trends
