About Us
Investment Approach
Kaufman Jacobs’ team of experienced professionals are highly selective when assessing investment opportunities. Our investment activities are never motivated by an underlying need to deploy capital; we are driven by quality, never quantity.
Although we invest for some of the largest institutional groups in the industry, we also strive to maintain a diverse investor base. Every investment in our portfolio is overseen with the utmost level of care and attention, leveraging decades of experience, active in-house management, and creative problem-solving. From our largest, most complex projects to our smallest, we prioritize investor outcomes in all decision-making.

Capabilities
Kaufman Jacobs has a proven track record acquiring undervalued and underperforming properties across the real estate spectrum and various economic cycles.
Due to a very selective and analytical acquisition process, along with access to off-market transactions and the expertise of a tenured team, Kaufman Jacobs has produced decades of outsized returns for both retail and institutional investors.
We continually research geographies and sectors to find attractive opportunities we believe are inefficiently priced by the market.
We have a dedicated, cycle-tested team with extensive relationship networks to source opportunities in different real estate and real estate-adjacent sectors.
We look for attractive entry points in liquid markets, with compelling discounts to replacement cost and value-creation opportunities.
We leverage our vertically integrated property management, asset management, construction, and leasing platforms to maximize performance, and when appropriate, we collaborate with specialized experts and local operators to further drive results.

Value is not simply created when a deal is acquired or developed, it must be actively nurtured from inception through disposition. Doing so requires a team of dedicated professionals with the experience to not only ensure the preservation of value but to continually search for and implement ways to bolster it.
We believe opportunities for value creation are most readily identified and achieved by maximizing oversight in-house. This includes elements such as asset management, property management, tenant relations, leasing, construction management and development, and accounting.
We strive to pursue a management approach which prioritizes aligning interests among parties in pursuit of “win-win” outcomes.
We know that attention to detail, large and small, is a key component of mitigating risks and achieving success.
