STRADA INVESTMENT GROUP is a vertically integrated San Francisco based real estate investment company with a proven track record of producing attractive opportunistic returns in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country. Strada was founded by experienced real estate professionals with a unique mix of high-level private and public sector experience who have consistently demonstrated success. Strada has built a strong platform with expertise in deal sourcing, financial analysis, asset management, construction and development, and employs real estate professionals with experience from best-of-class operators. INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY Strada seeks to invest in U.S. markets that are positioned to grow faster than the rest of the country. Though a recovery in the national US real estate market has been underway since 2011, the pace of recovery has varied between markets. The strongest improvement has occurred in markets where the underlying economy is leveraged to industries that are growing at rates faster than national GDP – particularly the technology and energy sectors. These top-performing markets tend to have a highly educated workforce, world-class educational institutions with strong research departments, diverse access to investment capital and strong ties to global markets. Strada has deep experience in the San Francisco Bay Area, arguably the strongest knowledge-based economy in the world, and also one of the most supply-constrained property markets. Strada believes the San Francisco Bay Area will maintain strong economic growth across the region, advancing job creation in both technology and non-technology industries through current and future business cycles.
