Our investment thesis is focused on assets that are strategically positioned near…
- Supply-constrained regions of California – markets with a current shortage in workforce housing.
- Durable demand drivers – such as transit locations, hospitals and urban universities.
By concentrating on assets with this unique profile, we stay recession resistant, deliver superior risk-adjusted returns and create impactful value to our local community.
Other real estate professionals tend to be product focused and sometimes, geographically diverse. At The Martin Group, we are experienced in all product types and focus on specific geographic locations. This way, we can allow each individual site to lead the ultimate outcome as opposed to any pre-determined product. Our properties are diverse and our efforts are award winning.
