Our investment strategy leverages multi-market experience and relationships to identify value added, office and mixed-use properties located in cities that have favorable macro trends, historically strong job and population growth in the southern and southwest U.S. including Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Atlanta and Miami (“Target Markets”).  Our team has extensive knowledge of the Target Markets by having worked in each of these cities.  We understand the prime locations within specific submarkets, market conditions, pricing and trends of tenants and investors.

Our team has significant relationships with local and national service providers that we utilize to assist us to perform the physical, environmental and financial underwriting tasks. Our team takes a comprehensive and “hands on” approach to identify risk issues and to develop a customized business plan for each asset.

Our team utilizes Argus software and a proprietary financial model to underwrite the building’s pro-forma and investor returns.   We fully vet the operating expenses, capital expenditures and lease up assumptions with numerous sensitivity matrixes.  When the pro-forma has been properly scrubbed we apply short and long-term hold scenarios as well as low to high leverage options to understand the most beneficial structure for our partners and BlackWatch.

After the completion of the Due Diligence, our team and legal counsel coordinates the closing of the asset(s).

This is the part of the process that we enjoy the most.  Our team has more than 25+ years in creating and executing innovative plans to turn underperforming buildings into stabilized assets.  Please see Case Studies and Project Experience for a select sample of our history with underperforming office and mixed-use assets.
