Dominion
Diversified Real Estate Investments was founded in 2001
as an entrepreneurial and opportunistic real estate
investment mechanism for individuals and entities desiring
to participate in the ownership of investment grade
or otherwise quality real estate assets. As of 2003
the principal of Dominion Diversified along with other
co-managing partners has sourced and closed on approximately
$30,000,000 worth of commercial real estate.
Dominion
Diversified desires to diversify its product mix and
respond to on going purchase opportunities presented
by the purchase & sale cycles of both private and
public owners of institutional grade real estate holdings
.
By purchasing
select assets of differing products types, in varying
geographic areas, the investment risk associated with
real estate should be reduced. Additionally, projected
returns should be less influenced by downturns in the
economy or any given market segment. The investment
entity seeks to attract a select group of passive investors
that desire to increase their current holdings or diversify
their investment mix.
Participating
in Dominion Diversified's investment selections should
afford individuals as well as institutions the chance
to co-invest in a limited capacity in both large and
small acquisitions, thus gaining economies of scale
and limiting their personal or institution's monetary
exposure.
Objectives
The investment enity's objective is to aggressively
seek opportunities and then quickly and thoroughly analyze
assets that can be purchased using equity to cover at
least 20 percent of the purchase price and yield at
least a 12 percent per annum cash on cash return. The
above parameters are base line minimums and the overall
objectives are to obtain yields substantially above
the stated minimum return objective. While the investment
entity should be prepared to place the above stated
equity into any given transactions, the equity requirement
could be less depending on the overall transaction structure
and lender requirements. It is further the fund's objective
to obtain non-recourse financing on every transaction.
While
the investment entity has the base line minimum return
expectations, it is anticipated that much greater (15-25
percent) returns may be achieved depending on variables
such as purchase price, leverage, interest rates, leasing,
development cost, exit timing and general market conditions.
Each asset
purchased or developed will be analyzed from a macro
and micro perspective in an attempt to forecast both
short and long-term performance potential. The total
initial equity contributions of the investors in each
investment will be determined on a case by case basis
a properties are sourced and placed under contract.
As it
now stands each purchase to date has been treated as
a stand-alone investment, while some investors may elect
to invest in multiple projects.
Investment
Size
We are seeking real estate that ranges in value from
a minimum of $3,000,000 and upward to $45,000,000 per
asset purchased. On larger purchase opportunities the
managing member may use the equity base of the local
investors as a platform to attract institutional equity
in significant amounts to co-invest in a transaction.
Investment
Types
The investment entity will seek well-located assets
varying in product type that are determined to meet
the investment objectives. The primary focus will be
directed towards high-end specialty retail and grocery
food-anchored retail, multi-family student housing,
office, industrial and select land and ground-up development
opportunities. Any given asset or opportunity will be
closely scrutinized as to its short and long term return
potential.
Geographic
Range
The primary geographic focus will include second and
third tier cities in Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Tennessee. On a case-by-case basis assets
outside of this geographic focus may be considered.
