| LCOR specializes in complex
urban development, including large-scale
multifamily residential, commercial and
mixed-use properties that often integrate housing, office, retail
and transportation components. In fact, LCOR has been a pioneer
and leader in the development of mixed-use live-work-play environments,
as well as public/private
development, including government spaces, aviation facilities
and infrastructure.
In addition to new development, LCOR seeks
acquisition and redevelopment opportunities. Repositioning or
otherwise adding value to existing assets is one of the company’s
core strengths, based on our long history as a successful developer,
investor and asset manager. LCOR also provides third-party residential
and commercial property management services.
Clients include institutional investors
and lenders; corporations; private owners and investors; educational
institutions; and local, state and federal agencies and authorities.
LCOR creates and enhances real estate asset-values by maximizing
quality, utility and return on investment. In specific situations,
we participate as a principal or "prime contractor."
Fundamentally, LCOR is engaged in these
activities:
Development and Design/Build Services
Structuring and implementing development
and financing partnerships is LCOR’s specialty. With a proven
methodology and a comprehensive approach, no detail escapes our
eye. Finance and financial structuring, engineering and design,
construction management, community outreach and ongoing operations
considerations all figure prominently in the LCOR approach.
For each project we assemble the best-suited
team. In the early phases of land use, zoning and site planning,
we identify and acquire needed government approvals and work with
the local community to build consensus. Our thorough, flexible
process virtually assures that any project deemed feasible will
deliver on its investment goals and other expectations.
Investment Management, Including Financial
Analysis
LCOR typically is an owner and investor
in the real estate properties it develops. Thus, we share our
partners’ motivation to create places that succeed economically
as well as intuitively, and succeed long term. In addition to
seeking public-sector development opportunities, we offer private
partners, principally institutional lenders and investors, opportunities
to share in the firm’s development, ownership and operations success.
Our decades of experience in investment
management and project finance, coupled with day-to-day involvement
in the financial markets, well serves our clients and partners...
who benefit from the options and approaches we’re able to
identify and execute relative to land acquisition, construction,
permanent financing and equity. We have particular expertise in
structuring and implementing lease transactions, evaluating alternative
capital sources, financing projects and developing project business
plans.
Residential and Commercial Property
Management
Operational efficiency is critical to creating
places and projects that succeed. LCOR’s attention to every
aspect of property and facility management ensures their high
performance. Tenant relations, retention and marketing programs;
rent collection, staffing and training; and community maintenance
and landscape management are among the services LCOR provides.
LCOR’s property marketing savvy is
well demonstrated. We adapt proven techniques to each and every
challenge, maximizing profitability with powerful marketing strategies.
(The firm is especially sensitive to the negative impact of non-leased
space.) Our extensive market research network senses and interprets
trends early and accurately. We quantify market demographics and
qualify targeted users and their preferences... assembling data
to ascertain micro-market price sensitivities, existing real estate
perceptions, and potential future trends.
Asset Management
LCOR’s asset management
expertise assures that project data and development alternatives
are clearly and concisely presented for client consideration and
decision-making. Comparative market values, market demographics,
rental rates, project analyses, construction costs and pro forma
financial analyses all are provided, communication is consistent
and ongoing, and investment and operating plans are regularly
reviewed and evaluated. |
