De Mattheis Investments is seeking the growth of its portfolio through the acquisition of existing income producing shopping centers and apartment complexes throughout the United States, as well as development and redevelopment opportunities of both types of property in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New York.
Our investment criteria for new acquisitions are as follows:
- Commercial Real Estate: Existing retail properties ranging in size from 20,000 sq.ft. to 150,000 sq.ft., as well as existing apartment complexes ranging in size from 25 units to 150 units in well located stabilized markets, or strong growth markets.
- Vacant Land: Land for the development and construction of retail shopping centers and apartment complexes, as well as sites that can accommodate a combination of both retail and residential, within the above size parameters, in quality well-established or strong growth markets;
- Redevelopment or Repositioning of Commercial Real Estate: Well located commercial properties, within the above parameters, in need of redevelopment or market repositioning, offering value-added opportunities.
Our objective is to acquire the strongest locations with significant market barriers to entry, which in turn create the highest rental demand and will be the least likely to be affected in the event of an economic downturn. Location does not just take into consideration strong demographics, but includes excellent visibility and access to each site.
DeMattheis Investments is a fully-integrated real estate operation that is adept at moving quickly to underwrite and negotiate the acquisition of a property, secure the most competitive financing in the marketplace (construction and/or permanent), obtain necessary governmental approvals (if necessary), close title, undertake the construction process (if necessary), and ultimately manage the property.
Our hands-on proactive management of our investments is where we outperform our competition. We maintain the highest occupancy rates in the industry, anticipating changes in tenancies and market conditions, and reacting quickly to make adjustments where needed. We perform our own leasing, as well as cooperate with retail brokers to bring the best quality merchants to our properties. Optimizing the tenant mix is a critical component to the success of a retail property. We are well trained in the selection of the best merchants to take full advantage of the tenant mix, thereby attracting a broader customer base to encourage cross-shopping within the merchants at our centers. This in turn will maximize merchant sales, which will ensure the ultimate success and viability of each property.
