When investing in existing properties, HighBridge Properties acquires multifamily assets that it can renovate and/or reposition in order to create value and enhance the on-site living experience of property residents.
We target properties in markets and submarkets that have favorable historical and/or forecast supply/demand fundamentals, including high barriers to entry, regulatory and geographic supply constraints, and strong population, household and personal-income growth.Often seeing investment potential when others may not, we identify properties that can be upgraded through capital-investment programs ranging from minor building/unit improvements to complete asset rehabilitations.
The result? For residents, better living units, improved common areas and a full suite of on-site amenities. For us and our equity partners, a more competitive and valuable asset.
Our current investment criteria are outlined below.
