Corporate Philosophy
 

Berkshire Pacific Ventures is dedicated to the enhancement of the quality of life wherever we develop or acquire properties by our commitment to setting new standards for quality in our projects, to responding to our community, and to building venues for success for our tenants.


Best Environments - Highest Quality Services

Berkshire Pacific Development's experienced leasing, management, construction and financial professionals are trained to think as first-tier service providers. All of our employees understand that it is their job to ensure that each Berkshire Pacific Development project offers the highest quality business environment and occupancy services in its marketplace.

We believe that the consistently high occupancy levels in Berkshire Pacific Development properties is the strongest testament to the validity of our operating philosophy and the best evidence of our successful implementation of that philosophy. Berkshire Pacific Development is a leading commercial real estate acquisition, investment and development company.

Berkshire Pacific Development employs creative, entrepreneurial strategies in its real estate development and asset management. Our goal is to create innovative real estate solutions that meet the needs of today's businesses. By designing and managing real estate with the tenant in mind, we are able to help businesses improve operating efficiencies, reduce their operating costs and can provide real estate solutions that bring value to the tenant and owner.

To create solutions that provide value to both tenant and landlord, Berkshire Pacific Development utilizes a market focused; investment based operating philosophy that emphasizes:

Primary Market Research - Extensive research into market needs, emerging trends and lifestyles.

Customer Focused Design - Designs that incorporate the results of the primary market research and provide superior solutions for the tenants.

Out- of- the- Box Solutions - Creative design solutions, acquisition structures and lease structures.

Investment Based Decision Making - Market and investment analysis are used extensively to ensure optimal investment decisions.

Creative, Property Value Enhancement and Development - With a foundation of solid investment analysis, a team of regionally recognized design professionals synthesize the project's investment objective to meet the needs of the marketplace.



Comprehensive Asset Management

Beyond the role of the traditional property manager, asset managers utilize a comprehensive approach that combines research and financial analysis with traditional management skills to provide a product that better meets the needs of tenants and investors.


More than Leasing - Value-Added Services
Berkshire Pacific Development operates based on the principle that our tenants are not only leasing space in our buildings, but additionally are seeking a broad range of occupancy services to support and enhance their core business operations. Delivery of a physical product that is maintained and operated to the highest industry standard is only the beginning. We strive to learn and remain abreast of our tenants’ businesses in order to meet their current needs, anticipate their future requirements and be in a position to work cooperatively with them in responding to unanticipated developments.


Superior Risk-Adjusted Returns Through Superior Investments
Berkshire Pacific Development seeks to generate superior risk-adjusted returns through investments in high-quality commercial and residential properties. We execute on this strategy by combining sophisticated capital market, asset management and investment expertise with the broad operating capabilities and experience of Berkshire Pacific Development.


Recognizing and Responding Quickly to Capital Flow Cycles
Real estate is a cyclical business with its cycles determined, in large part, by capital flows. A sound investment strategy must recognize the importance of these cycles and requires a willingness and an ability to move quickly to sell into capital that is over-valuing real estate and to buy when capital is under-valuing real estate.


Mitigating Risk through Asset Quality and Tenant Service
In selecting among investment opportunities, careful assessment must be made of the risk profile of the various alternatives. In commercial buildings, risk comes in basically two forms: rental rate risk and vacancy risk, with the greatest investment risk coming from the substantial costs that are incurred through vacancy. We believe that both of these risks are best mitigated by investing in under-valued properties that, due to their location, physical quality, amenities and other attributes, will always be preferred business locations. These risks are then further mitigated by operating these properties with an unwavering focus on responsive and cost-effective service to tenants so that opportunities to expand and retain tenants on the most favorable terms are maximized.

In summary, Berkshire Pacific Development believes that attractive risk-adjusted returns can be consistently achieved through an investment program that is focused on acquiring and developing high-quality commercial and residential properties at appropriate points in the investment cycle, utilizing a conservative amount of debt, operating these properties to produce a solid and consistent cash return, then selling these properties when capital is fully valuing the asset fundamentals.
