INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

As an active real estate investor, we develop balanced
business plans to create high relative value and align our and
our partners’ interest.
As an active real estate investor, we develop balanced business plans to create high relative value and align our and our partners’ interest.

Our Approach

Our goal is to invest in real estate with the professionalism of an institutional investor and the entrepreneurism to capture value and invest dynamically. We understand how investment managers assess investments and enable access to an existing business model to private real estate investors. When considering the risk/return trade-off we strive to develop dynamic business plans that create high relative value, while focusing on real estate fundamentals and macro-economic trends to hedge against a rapidly changing environment. As a co-investor in all of our investments we not only align interests with our partners but also share risks – risks that we must consider to be active and productive. UCP has a unique insight into commercial real estate investments through its integrated business lines and activities. All UCP Partners enjoy one point of contact.
