Market Selection

MARKET

At CrestBay, we strategically select markets for investment, concentrating on areas characterized by robust population growth and sound economic health.

These markets also display limited supply and low vacancy rates, making them prime targets for value-driven investments. Our portfolio strategy is designed to strike the perfect balance between competitive major markets and smaller, often overlooked markets.

While these smaller markets may be too modest for large-scale institutional investors, they offer substantial growth potential, aligning seamlessly with our commitment to uncovering and capitalizing on unique investment opportunities.

NETWORK

Network

Brokers: Our strategic approach is enhanced by our extensive network within the industrial markets, which grants us access to off-market deals, historically more than 50% of management deals are off-market in their nature

Capital: Our network not only connects us with exceptional investment opportunities but also fosters deep-rooted relationships with institutional capital. These connections are instrumental in identifying future buyers for our properties, who are drawn to the strategic aggregation of our assets and are often willing to pay a premium. This dual advantage of exclusive access to off-market transactions and the ability to attract premium buyers equips our investors with unique opportunities and enhances our market positioning.
