Commercial & Residential

Our strategy is opportunistic and designed to capture yield at different points along the risk-return spectrum while leveraging deep operational expertise.

Ground-Up

Build-to-Suit

Targeting institutional-grade tenants for ground-up build-to-suit deals that deliver an attractive yield on cost and strong credit profile upon stabilized exit.

Acquisition

Value-Add

Acquiring underperforming industrial, flex, and commercial assets where below-market rents, deferred maintenance, or operational mismanagement create a clear path to NOI growth.

Emerging Sector

Specialty Industrial

Acquisition and development of non-traditional industrial assets — outdoor storage yards, truck terminals, cold storage, and other high-demand, low-supply product types that institutional capital is increasingly chasing.

Criteria

Complementary asset classes that round out our portfolio with stable, demand-driven cash flows and meaningful development and value-add upside.

Self Storage

Development

Targeting overlooked markets with a data-driven approach to identify supply and demand imbalances before the competition.

Value-Add

Acquisitions with upside realized through rent roll optimization and excess developable land for phased expansion.

Multi-Family

Development

Class A multifamily in markets experiencing significant employment and industry growth spurring demand for new housing supply.

Value-Add

Acquisitions with additional upside through rent roll optimization, facility improvements, and favorable assumable debt structures.

Flex / Shallow Bay

Development

Ground-up small bay and flex industrial in submarkets with strong small business formation and limited new supply.

Value-Add

Acquiring underperforming flex and shallow bay assets where below-market rents, deferred maintenance, or poor tenant mix create a clear path to value creation.

Industrial

Development

Purpose-built industrial facilities for credit tenants on long-term NNN leases, typically in logistics corridors and manufacturing hubs tied to automotive, distribution, and advanced manufacturing demand drivers.

Value-Add

Targeting functional but overlooked industrial assets where below-market rents, near-term lease rollovers, or deferred capital expenditures present an opportunity.

Industrial Outdoor Storage

Development

Ground-up development of secured, improved outdoor storage yards in industrial corridors with high truck traffic and limited paved lot inventory.

Value-Add

Acquiring existing IOS sites or underutilized industrial parcels that can be repositioned as outdoor storage.

Build to Rent (BTR)

Development

Purpose-built single-family and townhome rental communities in high-growth markets where homeownership affordability has pushed demand toward rental alternatives.

Value-Add

Acquiring existing scattered-site or small-portfolio BTR assets and consolidating them under professional management.

Development Capabilities

We manage every phase of the development lifecycle in-house — from initial market identification through construction closeout — ensuring alignment, speed, and cost discipline at every step.

01

Site Selection

Rigorous market screening across secondary and tertiary metros, analyzing employment growth, infrastructure, tenant demand, and submarket supply dynamics to identify optimal locations.

Our Edge

Proprietary scoring framework that layers demographic, logistical, and zoning data to surface high-conviction sites before they reach the broader market.

02

Off-Market Sourcing

Deep broker relationships, direct-to-owner outreach, and proactive landowner engagement to access deals that never hit the open market — eliminating competitive bid pressure and improving basis.

Our Edge

Systematic prospecting campaigns targeting landowners, distressed sellers, and bank workout departments across our target geographies.

03

Due Diligence

Comprehensive technical review spanning environmental (Phase I/II), geotechnical, ALTA survey, title, zoning confirmation, utility capacity, and tenant credit analysis.

Our Edge

Coordinated third-party expert network with an internal checklist discipline that ensures nothing is missed — and hard deadlines are met.

04

Design & Entitlement

Managing the full architectural and civil engineering scope from conceptual site planning through construction documents, while navigating zoning approvals, PUD requirements, and municipal review.

Our Edge

In-house site planning capability using scaled toolsets that accelerate feasibility analysis and compress the pre-development timeline.

05

Incentive Procurement

Identifying and negotiating economic development incentives — tax abatements, TIF districts, infrastructure grants, and job creation credits — that materially improve project economics.

Our Edge

Direct relationships with local and state economic development authorities, with a track record of structuring incentive packages that move the needle on yield.

06

Construction Management

Hands-on oversight of general contractors through bid leveling, value engineering, draw management, and schedule accountability — driving on-time, below-budget delivery.

Our Edge

Line-by-line cost review and proactive identification of drawing contradictions, VE opportunities, and scope gaps before they become change orders.

07

Financing

Structuring the optimal capital stack — construction loans, permanent financing, institutional equity, and co-investment alongside our investors — to maximize returns while managing risk.

Our Edge

PPAF invests in every deal alongside equity partners, aligning interests and optimizing cost of capital through deep lender and equity relationships.
