The SouthernSun private commercial real estate strategy was launched to capitalize on the current distress in the U.S. real estate market. In this strategy, we seek to deliver solid risk-adjusted returns for our investors through the acquisition of high quality, financially troubled, U.S. commercial real estate assets at significant discounts to replacement cost. We are also targeting loans and bank-owned properties (REO) being sold by the FDIC and other distressed institutions. After acquisition, we then professionally manage the assets to stabilize and improve rental income and, ultimately, seek to monetize stabilized assets into improving capital markets at non-distressed pricing.
SouthernSun's investment focus is on office, multifamily and retail assets in Eastern and Sun Belt States. Our real estate team's contacts and expertise are deepest in these regions and U.S. Census Bureau has projected that approximately 88% of the U.S. population growth will occur in this region over the next twenty years.
