Investment Strategy

Investor-Centric approach to Real Estate Investments

Crew Enterprises takes an investor-centric approach to real estate investment, identifying investor goals and objectives, and then creating strategies that align with those goals.

Newer Assets

Crew often acquires newer assets that we believe to be stabilized and well-located in strong markets. For these properties, Crew typically employs a more conservative buy-and-hold strategy where the property is held for a five- or six-year period. These assets are 1031 and IRA eligible.

Value-Add

Crew strategically invests in older properties with superior locations in markets that are experiencing significant demographic growth. Our strategy is to target rent growth potential and execute on a capital expenditure plan through upgrades, renovations and amenity improvements.

Ground-Up Development

Crew Enterprises focuses on ground-up development, targeting ideal locations, especially in markets where demand is growing faster than supply. Crew's approach creates an array of living accommodations that vary from experiential to more typical apartment development projects.
