 STRENGTH 

Our Industrial Strength strategy capitalizes on the strong supply-demand fundamentals of infill Southern California industrial real estate. The aging stock of existing industrial buildings is becoming increasingly functionally obsolete for today's businesses. At the same time, the seismic shift to eCommerce continues to drive demand to historic highs. Combine the supply-demand imbalance with high barriers to entry created by a challenging regulatory environment and you get a window of opportunity to create value through focused acquisitions and build-to-core development. Our intimate market knowledge down to the street level and our proven tenacity in navigating complex entitlement processes places us in a good position to execute this strategy.

Zoning codes are decades old. Most existing buildings were built before the internet and smartphones. Development takes years, while emerging technologies are transforming the way we live by the minute. Traditional capital lacks the flexibility and long-term investment horizon necessary to capture value from innovative projects that have longer adoption cycles. Enter Evolve Venture Partners, an evergreen fund that enables a truly long-term vision for our investments. The Evolve strategy revolves around developing solution-oriented spaces that align with emerging technologies. We are only just starting to see the transformation of retail properties after years of disruption by eCommerce. How will office properties evolve as remote work takes hold? How different would your city look if autonomous vehicles were the norm? We believe there will be strong demand for new product types and business models that successfully address these questions. Our strategy allocates a percentage of our resources to pilot these new product types and balances the risk of being a pioneer by also generating steady returns with more traditional investments.

OUR VALUES
DEFINE US

Relationships

We are nothing without our relationships and we take that seriously. Relationships are built over time with effort. We put in the effort and time needed to cultivate meaningful relationships both within the organization and externally. We realize that not all relationships can be meaningful, so we focus on the ones that are and respectfully decline those that are not. All of our values and principles are derived on the basis of and revolves around the importance of relationships.

Alignment

We believe that the success of any relationship can be predetermined by establishing alignment of interests at the outset. We do not take a zero-sum game approach and we try to devise win-win situations. We actively listen to understand what winning means to everyone as the first step towards any new relationship. When it is not possible to achieve win-win outcomes, walking away may be the best option even if that means losing an opportunity.

Integrity

All relationships are built on a foundation of trust and trust comes easy to people who act with integrity. No amount of legal documentation can protect against someone who does not do as they say. Our word is our bond. Anyone who has received a commitment from us can rest assured that we do what we say and we do what we are supposed to do even when no one is looking.

Happiness

For most of us, work consumes a majority of our waking hours. We believe that our work should be enjoyable and fulfilling most of the time. It is unrealistic to expect work to be enjoyable and fulfilling all the time, but if you spend most of your time at work wishing you were doing something else, then you should probably be doing something else. What we do is not easy and when done well, it should be a source of pride and joy.

Fairness

We put ourselves in the other person's shoes and try to see things from the other perspective. Nothing is completely fair, but at the very least, our process forces reflection before action.

Excellence

We do not achieve excellence by accident. It starts with a clear vision that then gets executed with surgical precision down to the very last detail. No one can be the best at everything, so we focus on our core competencies and partner with those who excel at their craft.

Simplicity

Keep it simple.

VISION

A future where physical spaces continue to be relevant in a digital world, and the built environment fosters connections and strong communities.

MISSION

We strive to develop people and communities to exceed their potential.
