Acquire

At its core, Devonshire is a commercial real estate investment company that specializes in community and neighborhood shopping centers. Created as a private investment vehicle for institutional fiduciaries such as private and commercial bank trust departments, pensions, endowments and foundations, Devonshire has always been very mindful of the risk versus reward trade-off presented by each investment opportunity.

Unlike many other companies representing the real estate investment category, Devonshire’s Management team is heavily invested in the fund and takes no asset based fees from its investors.

This creates perfect alignment between Management and outside investors – both want share price appreciation and increases in yield over time. These goals can only be accomplished consistently through careful assessment and shrewd judgment.

Processes and procedures are in place to assist Management in making the best the absolute best investment choices for the precious funds entrusted to them. Some of these safeguards include:

  • Every property must pass a set of 45 detailed metrics before being considered by the Property Assessment Committee (PAC).
