Ares Real Estate Group manages comprehensive public and private equity and debt strategies. Our Real Estate Group provides debt and equity capital to a broad spectrum of borrowers, property owners and real estate developers. We seek to create value for investors by investing in under-managed and undercapitalized assets in supply-constrained markets, targeting de-risked assets and markets with consistent demand fundamentals, high barriers to new supply and strong liquidity characteristics. Our debt strategies leverage diverse sources of capital to directly originate and manage commercial mortgage investments on properties that range from stabilized to requiring hands on value creation. Our Real Estate Group leverages the following core capabilities across our platform: Experienced Leadership—Stable and deep team that has been market cycle-tested and is established in many local markets across the world Global Market Perspective—Integrating a global market view with local market knowledge and fundamental asset analysis Multi-Channel Sourcing—Deep connectivity into local property networks, leading to off-market deal flow In-House Research—Corporate and industry research to identify and capitalize on market trends Our investment professionals are product and property type generalists who are able to invest in a range of commercial real estate assets – principally targeting properties (i) in strong markets, (ii) with solid competitive positioning, and (iii) controlled by experienced sponsorship teams executing value-add business plans. We primarily target major property types including industrial, multifamily, office, retail, lodging and senior-living properties and selectively consider hospitality, mixed-use, self-storage, single-tenant/owner-occupied, specialty use and student housing.
