Company Overview
|
|
|
|
SMA Equities invests as a principal in retail, office, hotel, land and mixed-use properties
in and around metropolitan areas throughout the United States and abroad.
We began to acquire, develop and operate properties in 1986 as SMA Realty. Throughout its history,
the company has focused on making contrarians real estate investments and intensely managing assets
in order to maximize value.
OUR BELIEF:
We firmly believe that real estate is an active, hands-on operating business, not a passive investment.
As a result, real estate investment is SMA Equities’ sole focus. The company’s group of highly
educated and experienced real estate professionals work closely together to provide extensive
in-house expertise in asset management, leasing, finance and accounting. We constantly strive to
maximize the value of our assets, while emphasizing the need to protect the capital of the company,
our partners and our lenders.
OUR FOCUS:
SMA Equities focuses on both stabilized properties with an established revenue flow, as well as redevelopment
opportunities that are under-performing. Redevelopment may include physical improvement,
change in use, aggressive marketing, improved management and financial restructuring. Once completed,
the properties will be worth more than the acquisition and redevelopment costs, thus creating value.
OUR STRATEGY:
The key to SMA Equities' investment strategy is identifying well-located, fundamentally sound
properties that are under performing their potential, creating a plan-of-action to resolve
site-specific issues and successfully implementing that plan. The ability to close quickly and
complete redevelopment efficiently enhances returns. SMA Equities maintains a pool of immediately
available capital and focuses on geographic areas within which it is well networked and highly mobile.
This investment strategy can achieve high returns in all types of assets. In stabilized assets,
returns are enhanced due to the income appreciation generated by the density in urban markets;
in redevelopment assets, the strategy is especially successful because the opportunity exists to
purchase properties that are well located at attractive discounts to replacement costs, positioning
them for strong returns as the properties are re-developed.
