Our Strategy

Value-Add Properties in High-Growth
Areas with Vertical Integration

Our strategic investment strategy, honed through experience, adheres to specific criteria proven to demonstrate a favorable risk-reward ratio for all investment partners 

We employ two main strategies

Value Add

Improving aging properties through renovation and upgrades

Covered Land Play

Seeks to identify properties with potential for increased density or redevelopment

Our Process

Our Process

We target markets where we can successfully operate throughout the real estate cycle. This means focusing our efforts on areas with sustainable growth supported by a diverse set of strong economic drivers and favorable supply-demand dynamics. 

Sourcing And Acquiring Attractive Properties 

Our ideal building is one that has been untouched for 10 or more years with significant arbitrage between in-place and market rents. An important component of our ability to capture favorable entry prices is our exceptional skill at sourcing off-market deals. 

Creating Value Through Customized Extensive Renovations

Our targeted renovations yield higher rent, increase tenant retention, and reduce vacancies resulting in stable low volatility assets, increased value creation, and higher returns to investors. 

Institutional Team

The Southgate team consists of institutionally trained individuals from leading firms throughout the industry. 

Embrace Technology

Southgate embraces and harnesses advances in real estate technology to provide a superior experience to both tenants and investors.

"I have been investing with Southgate Real Estate Ventures for over five years. During this time, Southgate has increased the value and quality of many properties, resulting in a strong return for me and the communities they invest in. I work with Southgate because of their expertise and local market knowledge. They also consider how best to improve a property to complement its surroundings. Investing in real estate is, in part, a way to play a role in improving the cities where we live, and Southgate does just that."

"I think the assets I'm invested in are fantastic. The upgrades are enough to maxmize rents while not over investing given that a future buyer may be a developer. I think the properties are being managed really well. We saw a few tenants who seemed really happy with thier places. The locations were awesome. I loved the neighborhoods around the properties. I hope there are more opportunities for us to work together in the future!"

"Southgate has consistently increased property values which has resulted in substantial growth of my equity. They have very strong market knowledge and the ability to quickly execute on their strategy. To date, they have fully met my expectations in adhering to their business plans."
