We maintain an unwavering focus on underlying fundamental value when evaluating market opportunities. This reduces risk, protects capital, and increases returns.
Proactive
We have a bias for action and apply an active hands-on asset management approach to what we do. This means being decisive, acting with urgency, delivering excellence, and innovating every time.
Perspective
We go where others are not. We are thematic investors and focus on key economic drivers and underlying fundamentals to select the opportunities we pursue.
Our Business
Slate’s Investment Platform
Our investment platform is centered around four pillars with thematic strategies spanning the risk spectrum from core-plus to opportunistic.
Opportunistic & Value Add
Core Plus & Income
Development
We invest in opportunistic and value-add real estate across all asset classes in North America and Europe. We focus on single asset repositioning or redevelopment, cyclical investment opportunities and portfolio opportunities. We put our fundamental value investing philosophy to work by acquiring assets that others overlook at an attractive basis and applying our hands-on asset management expertise.
Private
Our core-plus and income strategies target the acquisition of cash-yielding, stabilized essential real estate assets in North America and Europe that are critical to the supply chain, such as grocery, healthcare assets, and affiliated warehouses and logistics centers.
Public
We manage two publicly-listed investment vehicles:
Our in-house development team has a history of global development deals and works across all asset classes. Our capabilities span the entire spectrum of residential and commercial development, including ground-up and repositioning opportunities. We invest in key urban markets with consistent and expected growth, and we target transit-oriented infill sites and complex land assemblies.
