COFE Properties industrial strategy focuses on acquiring and actively managing small bay, multi-tenanted properties located in infill locations with high barriers to entry and proximity to population centers and demand generators. As urbanization increases, tenant demand for these sites will continue to grow as they are ideal locations for last mile deliveries, as well as users serving residential districts. Demand for this product type continues to rise, while supply is diminishing as the infill locations we target are being re-zoned for higher and better use and new industrial construction has been limited to traditional big box industrial.
COFE focuses on driving the value of our properties through the “institutionalization” of our assets. This strategy comes in two primary forms – improving the assets’ physical appearance; and improving operations, management, accounting and reporting.
COFE Properties opportunistically acquires office properties that fit our specific investment criteria. We pursue underperforming assets located in suburban & urban, boutique markets, with minimal competition and proximity to executive housing and demand drivers. COFE targets properties that have suites that can be efficiently demised into smaller units to attract a tenant pool that is better suited to serve the surrounding populous while simultaneously diversifying the credit profile of the asset. Additionally, COFE implements strategic leasing plan which involves speculatively building out office suites based on market demand for tenants seeking immediate, turnkey office solutions.
COFE Properties has an impressive track record of implementing this strategy throughout South Florida in suburban markets such as Coral Gables, Kendall, and Aventura.
