To remain relevant today, retailers must combine an attractive aesthetic with a curated selection of goods and services and provide a welcoming space where shoppers can convene and socialize. Furthermore, they must provide an integrated multi-channel delivery system, consisting of home delivery, at-store pick up, and traditional in-store purchasing. This fundamental shift has created intricate combinations of consumer choices which are entirely dependent on distinct individual and product characteristics.
Value Creation
At Longpoint, we leverage our local networks in target markets to source well-located,
underperforming properties. We rely on our extensive operating experience to create value
at the asset level through:
- physical
repositioning - adaptive
reuse - development
- portfolio
aggregation
We invest in densely populated, knowledge-based markets with positive net migration and urbanization trends where our deep local relationships generate attractive investment opportunities. We use proprietary technology and research tools to understand local community demographics and to tailor our repositioning strategy for each asset and market.
Expectations for home delivery and shortening delivery times have disrupted traditional supply chain models and increased demand for infill industrial space near population centers. These industrial facilities must be renovated with appropriate physical upgrades to meet current logistics demands.
Our investment approach centers on the convergence between the retail and industrial sectors. Understanding the entire supply chain enables us to effectively reposition both types of assets to enhance operating income and asset value.
