From an investment perspective, our approach has emphasized capital preservation over assuming unmanageable risks to chase out-sized returns and thus we have eschewed overheated markets where fundamentals in our estimation did not pencil out.

From a design perspective, we seek to develop architecturally distinct buildings that respect their location, neighborhood and site; buildings that will live in harmony with their surroundings and add character and value beyond the economic. We support, encourage and select architects whose visions bring forth interesting, eye-pleasing designs through the use of, for example, unique fenestration patterns, cantilevered elements or distinctive materials.
Each of our development projects is well designed and well constructed and possesses high quality architecture and finishes geared toward a discriminating buyer or tenant. Our goal is to create good value for customers and strong returns for our partners and investors.
