As investors, either directly or in joint ventures with select clients, we seek to add value to our acquisitions through focused operational improvements and capital structure adjustments. In general, JDI seeks opportunities that are currently out of favor, are not actively marketed or are so sufficiently complicated as to dissuade less determined investors. With a reputation for innovative structuring, thorough due diligence and overall professionalism, JDI is positioned to react quickly to changing market opportunities.
As opportunistic investors, we seek to avoid the momentum-driven inclinations of most institutional investors. Rather, given the cyclicality of the major property sectors, we tend to focus our efforts on those property types that appear to be out of current favor. In applying this contrarian approach, we pursue solid, undervalued assets that are often overlooked by the more programmatic investors. We believe our primary strengths lie in our access to capital and strategic repositioning experience. Where a value enhancement opportunity requires significant construction or redevelopment expertise, as in adaptive reuse projects, then JDI will seek an accomplished local joint venture partner as a co-investor.
