Investment Strategy
We are patient and opportunity lead and driven to preserve our investors’ wealth, deliver reliable monthly cashflow and over time, realise genuine capital growth.
Above and beyond typical real estate fundamentals and investment principles such as location and tenant profile, Marquette has a clear thought process and ‘ideology’ it utilises when assessing, acquiring, and managing assets.
Grow & Stabilise Income
We seek to increase rental income from existing tenants and tenancies, as well as investigating new income sources via capital works and creative leasing solutions.
Limit Operating Expenses
Through efficient management, physical improvement, and longstanding relationships, Marquette looks to increase the net income by reducing operating expenses whilst improving the services and functionality of an asset.
Grow & Improve Tenant Quality and Tenure
We look to sign quality tenants on long leases in order to add value, create recurrent cash flow and generate strong returns.
Improve Physical Elements
We strive to make our buildings better through defensive and proactive capital works which seek to improve functionality, performance, and the appearance of our assets.
Compress Yield
Through the combination of each element above, Marquette can demonstrably change the value of an asset through perception, appeal, functionality, and financial performance. We therefore seek to ‘price make’ and compress the investment yield of an asset at exit.
Cycle Resistant Assets
Targeting assets with the fundamentals to endure a property downturn better than the market relatively.
Value-Add Assets
We aim to buy an asset, make it better, and subject to our asset plan and investor requirements, sell or hold when the time is right.
Price making
We seek to buy in areas that are undervalued or overlocked, in order to create opportunities for our investors.
Replacement Cost
We strive to acquire assets at pricing below, or in line, with replacement cost in order to facilitate genuine capital growth.
Familiarity
We remain active in our primary South East Qld markets in order to leverage our extensive relationships with all stakeholders.
