Acquisition Criteria

Acquisitions Overview

Highgate Partners believes that the current economic environment strongly favors the pursuit of opportunistic and value-add healthcare assets, which fit the following criteria: Growth markets in the United States – Middle-market transactions valued between $5 and $25 million dollars – Distressed assests or fatigued owners/lenders – Pricing below replacement cost.

Highgate Partners acquires the majority of its investment assets from private, institutional, and community banks.  Our philosophy is to provide selling entities with a sophisticated and reliable acquisition partner when disposing of their real estate assets.  Our ability to move quickly in a sophisticated, diligent manner has allowed our team to secure most of its recent commercial real estate product off-market and thus able to acquire the real estate at less of a premium compared to buildings marketed by a broker.

Proven Track Record

Our principals have a combined 70+ years of experience in the commercial real estate industry, having been involved in all aspects of the business – ownership, brokerage, development and property management. Our team has been directly involved in more than 26 million square feet of real estate transactions totaling more than $2.1 billion.

We’ve closed roughly $750 million of transactions in that past 36 months inclusive of over $175 million of acquisitions. Our focus as it relates to acquisitions is to find well-located, value-add opportunities that have outstanding problems that need to be resolved.  Whether it be a property management issue, a leasing issue, or physical building issue, our strategy is to address each challenge head-on and resolve all matters in a very short period of time.  We’re able to do that because of our expertise in the industry as well as our strong company platform.  While each acquisition is different, our preferred hold period is 24 to 36 months for each transaction with an average return to Limited Partners of 48.58% (inclusive of the 8% annual preferred return)
