The Challenge
In 2016, IRET (now Centerspace) pivoted from a multifaceted real estate company with a mix of commercial assets, to a single-purpose multifamily REIT. The Board retained RCLCO to facilitate a long-range strategic plan and evaluate its geographic concentration in the upper Midwest.
Solution
RCLCO evaluated a variety of geographic footprints to assess what deployment represented the best opportunity for growth and would enable the company to improve its performance in line with its peer group.
With the client team, we assessed investor appetite for a publicly traded multifamily REIT focused on the Midwest. Once the company decided on a target footprint, RCLCO screened the company’s current asset base and developed a disposition strategy for non-aligned properties.
Impact
RCLCO’s analysis lead IRET (now Centerspace) to commit to investing in high-performing markets throughout the Central U.S. In line with the strategy, the company has pruned holdings in secondary Midwestern markets and expanded aggressively in high-growth regions including Denver.
