acquisitions strategy
CG acquires properties at favorable prices and adds value through creativity and effective management. CG primarily targets properties with potential upside from rent acceleration, land appreciation, repositioning, or future development.
CG’s current acquisitions strategy includes development opportunities as CG offers a vertically integrated platform which benefits from extensive development management experience. Our development management capabilities play an integral role in creating value at the asset level.
Underwriting and Risk Management
CG puts all targeted acquisitions through a detailed due diligence and underwriting process to minimize risk and increase the likelihood of a successful investment. Prior to committing to an investment, we create a detailed pro forma model analyzing potential outcomes.
We rigorously test our assumptions by gathering market data, performing physical inspections of the underlying properties, engaging reputable consultants, and getting detailed cost estimates for all construction work to be performed.

- Analysis of the supply and demand dynamics in the market
- Review of anticipated income, expenses and potential cost savings
- Future cash flow analysis and pro forma modeling
- Review of financial records, leases, and operating history of existing assets
- Environmental review
