Our Investment Opportunities

Hefele Group offers four distinct real estate investment opportunities designed to meet different investor goals and risk profiles.  Each investment opportunity leverages our multi-generational expertise in development, construction, and community-focused investing to deliver value across the real estate spectrum.  Our products target investors seeking real estate exposure without the complexity of direct property ownership. Most importantly we are principles in every product and take a hands-on approach to every deal which means we have skin in the game. 

High Growth Investment 

Ground-Up Development for Maximum Returns

Our High-Growth Investment Opportunity targets new development projects in high-demand markets. Designed for investors seeking significant appreciation through strategic development opportunities.

​

Investment Profile

  • Focus: Residential build-to-rent communities, industrial and various other new construction projects

  • Target Returns: Higher than average over a 3-5 year investment period

  • Strategy: Ground-up development in markets with strong population and job growth

​

Why This Opportunity

Driven by millennials priced out of homeownership and growing rental demand. Our experienced development team leverages local market knowledge and community relationships to identify and execute high-potential projects.

​

Key Advantages

  • On-the-ground expertise in entitlements and construction

  • Thorough market analysis and pre-leasing strategies

  • Projects designed with neighborhood input for long-term value

  • Multiple value drivers: development profits, rental growth, and appreciation

​​

Investment Considerations
Higher return potential comes with development-stage risks including construction, market timing, and regulatory approvals. Our entitlement expertise has us well positioned in this space.  Suitable for investors who do not need to access their money over the 3-5 year commitment period.

Steady Growth Investment 

Stabilized Properties with Value-Add Potential

Our Steady Growth Investment Opportunity focuses on existing income-producing properties with established tenant bases and consistent cash flows. We target multi-family, industrial properties, and mixed-use properties where strategic improvements to existing buildings can maximize value and returns.

​

Investment Profile

  • Focus: Stabilized properties with existing tenants and proven income streams

  • Target Returns: Average returns with consistent cash distributions

  • Strategy: Value-add improvements to optimize property performance and tenant retention

​

Property Types

  • Multi-Family Buildings: Established tenant relationships

  • Industrial Properties: Warehouses, manufacturing, and distribution facilities

  • Mixed-Use Developments: Multi-tenant properties combining retail, office, and residential

  • All properties feature existing leases and operational income streams

​

Value Creation Strategy

We target properties that have reached stabilization (typically above 90% occupancy) with strong net operating income, then implement strategic improvements to enhance value. Our approach includes tenant retention programs, property upgrades, operational efficiencies, and lease optimization to drive consistent returns.

​

Key Advantages

  • Immediate Cash Flow: Properties generate income from day one

  • Reduced Risk: Established tenant base and proven income history

  • Value Enhancement: Strategic improvements increase both income and property value

  • Market Diversification: Portfolio spans multiple property types and tenant sectors

​

​Investment Considerations
Investors can typically expect steady returns. This strategy offers lower risk than ground-up development while providing growth potential through value-add improvements. Properties may require capital improvements and are subject to market conditions and tenant stability.

​

Industrial Investment 

Pure-Play Industrial Real Estate 

Our Industrial Investment product focuses exclusively on properties across the industrial sector. This product combines both new development and existing building opportunities, offering investors dedicated exposure to the industrial real estate market with enhanced diversification benefits and a blended return.

​

Investment Profile

  • Focus: Ground up industrial and existing stabilized industrial

  • Strategy: Mixed approach combining development opportunities and value-adds to existing properties

  • Property Portfolio Mix: Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers

​

Diversification Advantage

Industrial assets benefit from e-commerce growth and supply chain demand.  Additionally, industrial real estate offers lower correlation with residential markets and broader economic cycles. Businesses typically sign long-term leases providing more predictable income streams. 

​

Key Advantages

  • Uncorrelated Returns: Industrial properties perform differently than residential real estate markets

  • Professional Tenant Base: Businesses provide longer lease terms and higher rental rates

  • Multiple Value Drivers: Development profits, lease escalations, and strategic improvements

  • Portfolio Balance: Ideal complement to existing residential real estate holdings

​​

Investment Considerations

Proper diversification across property types can help boost returns and limit downside risk.  

Residential Investment 

Pure-Play Residential Real Estate 

Our Residential Investment product focuses exclusively on residential properties across all formats.  This product combines both new development and existing property opportunities, offering investors dedicated exposure to the residential real estate market.

​

Investment Profile

  • Focus: Single-family, multi-family and townhome properties

  • Strategy: Mixed approach combining new development projects and existing stabilized properties with value-add potential

​

Property Portfolio Mix

  • Single-Family Homes: Focus on new development and modular construction.  Properties may be sold after construction or held for recurring rental revenue.

  • Multi-Family Properties: Focus on 5+ unit buildings in key locations with strong demographics

  • Townhomes: Includes 20+ units with a focus on new development.  Properties may be sold after entitlements or construction.  Alternatively held for recurring rental revenue.  Attached residential units appealing to modern rental demographics

​​

Diversification Advantage

Multifamily real estate has a long history as a hedge against inflation and a track record for performing well during recessions. Residential properties offer different risk profiles than industrial investments.  They provide shorter lease terms allowing for quicker rent adjustments, and the ability to minimize risk by diversifying a portfolio with multiple properties and tenants.

​

Key Benefits

  • Uncorrelated Returns: Residential markets perform differently than other commercial real estate and other investments (i.e. publicly traded stocks)

  • Housing Demand Stability: Essential need for shelter provides consistent tenant demand.  The housing shortage continues to fuel demand for housing at all levels.

  • Security Provided by Multiple Tenants: With multiple tenants in any given building, a single tenant moving out does not have a significant impact on the property's cash flow.

  • Portfolio Balance: Ideal complement to existing commercial real estate holdings

​​

Investment Considerations

Residential properties typically offer more stable occupancy but may have higher tenant turnover than commercial properties. This product targets investors seeking residential real estate exposure across multiple property types. Properties benefit from strong rental demand but may be sensitive to local employment and demographic trends.
