Our Mission

The Partnered Property Acquisitions Group (The PPA Group) is a full-service commercial real estate investment firm that seeks attractive, risk-adjusted returns for accredited and sophisticated investors. The PPA Group specializes in the acquisition and repositioning of commercial and multi-family properties nationwide, focusing on primarily value-add and core-plus opportunities. Our extensive network of private equity partners maximize their returns by investing with a scaled operator with a large portfolio of commercial real estate as well as in-house asset and property management capability. The investor benefits from the diversification of risk and economies of scale of a large asset portfolio and operations group regardless of the structure or size of their ownership interest.

The PPA Group, LLC specializes in the identification, finance, acquisition, repositioning and management of all types of commercial real estate throughout the United States. We are dedicated to sourcing quality properties for our investors and providing the premier asset management service in the commercial real estate industry. Our team offers a unique spectrum of expertise with a combined synergy capable of meeting any challenge while maximizing opportunity. Our acquisition strategy exclusively focuses on assets that create secure and sustainable returns in current market conditions. Providing exceptional service to our

equity partners is our first priority each day. Honoring our promises and commitments, we distinguish ourselves with the highest level of professionalism and ethical behavior.

We believe the key determinants of our success are “buying right,” aggressive leasing and creative asset management. Typically, target investments are in need of physical improvements, are partially or completely vacant and require improved operations and management. Our ability to execute quickly and derive value where others cannot allows us to “earn” our returns rather than wait for them like more passive investors.

Buying right provides the margin to improve, lease and sell assets in a compressed time frame, which helps us achieve target returns for our equity partners. We understand that professional property management is the key element to ensure the success of our real estate holdings. The PPA Group uses a mixture of our in-house expertise along with our sister company, PPA Real Estate Management, whose diligence and quality standards provide our equity partners with the assurance of effective operations and protection on their investments. This process of buying assets at the right time coupled with our expert property and asset management services has led The PPA Group to higher-than-expected returns on many of our properties.

About the Company

The PPA Group’s strategy is to invest in high return commercial real estate with our large network of private equity partners. We own and asset manage our portfolio of commercial real estate including apartment complexes, office buildings and retail centers. The PPA Group’s ownership of a large portfolio of properties allows our equity partners to benefit from economies of scale, eliminating many of the duplicative processes and costs that apply when an investor purchases properties on their own. This allows our equity partners to enjoy cash flow and tax benefits while the property matures in value, while eliminating the worry and hassle of property and asset management on their own.

The PPA Group invests large amounts of time and human capital to source the most attractive opportunities for our investors. Extensive due diligence, including financial statement and property audits, is conducted by our in-house analysts and property managers prior to all asset acquisitions. Our equity partners receive in-depth and transparent reports on the findings of our analysis, so they receive all of the information needed to make educated investment decisions. We acquire low- to medium-risk properties with the right combination of price, location, quality, growth and rental potential. We provide a broad range of ownership structure options to meet the needs of our investors including joint venture partnerships, fractional ownership, direct ownership investments, equity partnerships, 1031 exchanges and private placements.

Real estate is a complex industry. The market, by strict definition, is finite, yet it offers boundless opportunities to investors and those who are willing to take the market by its horns. To succeed today, real estate managers must create exceptional value while meeting market demands. Returns must be earned through diligence, vision and execution. Our market timing is both accurate and precise, our underwriting skills are impeccable, and our vertically integrated asset and property management services allow us to add value
