Existing Building Portfolio Acquistions
Off-market and distressed acquisitions of income-producing and vacant industrial real estate across the Southeast.
Disciplined Approach
CRE Holdings acquires income-producing and vacant industrial assets in the firm's active Southeast markets, with a focus on shallow bay product that require significant renovation but are structurally sound.
The firm's acquisition strategy is built on four core capabilities: off-market deal sourcing, disciplined distressed acquisition execution, replacement-cost-based underwriting, and in-depth hands-on market research through local brokerage firms.
Across more than four decades of principal investment activity and representing industrial occupiers, this discipline has provided investors with significant returns on their capital investments.
Off-Market Deal Sourcing
A substantial share of the firm's acquisitions have been sourced off-market — directly from owners, lenders, and brokerage relationships rather than through formal marketing processes.
This sourcing capability is based in:
Four decades of continuous market presence across the Southeast industrial corridor.
A deep network of brokers, landowners, lenders, and institutional contacts cultivated over the firm's history.
A reputation for closing on initial terms within market timelines.
A vertically integrated platform that allows the firm to commit, perform their due diligence, and close without the friction or retrading.
Distressed Acquisition Experience
CRE Holdings has executed on income-producing, vacant acquisitions and distressed recapitalizations across multiple market cycles.
The firm is well positioned to act quickly on opportunities created by capital structure stress, lender repositioning, partnership disputes, and other complex situations where other buyers cannot move within required timelines.
These situations consistently produce the firm's most attractive opportunities and remain a meaningful component of CRE Holdings pipeline.
General terms across the platform include:
Every acquisition the firm pursues is underwritten against current replacement cost. CRE Holdings has consistently demonstrated the ability to acquire income-producing industrial assets at a meaningful discount to the cost of building comparable product at a margin of safety that protects principal across market cycles and has consistently provided their family of investors above market returns.
