DBSI Aggresively Pursuing New Buying Strategy

Posted by dbsi on August 26, 2008

Company is buying finished lots, partially finished lots, super pads,
and entitled residential land across the country

29 years of success in the investment real estate market doesn’t come easy. It requires creativity, hard work, and the ability to adapt to a continually changing environment. With the current real estate market, DBSI Acquisitions has had to make some adjustments, and that has led them to a new buying strategy:  Aggressively buying finished lots, partially finished lots, super pads, and entitled residential land across the country.

“In the current climate we are finding exceptional deals on distressed assets like residential land,” Brian Olsen, DBSI VP of Operations, said. “Based on what we have seen in the marketplace, the company feels that improved and entitled residential land can be purchased for below what replacement cost will be in the future.  We believe that the land we have purchased is well-positioned for potential price appreciation.”

One of the keys to success for DBSI has always been to try to anticipate market changes and stay two steps ahead. Following this philosophy, the company believes its new buying strategy is another new investment real estate opportunity that will help them better serve their clients.

 “Most industry veterans will tell you that success in investment real estate requires adapting to an ever-changing market, “ Olsen said. “The real estate market never stays the same, and neither can you.”

Under the new buying strategy, the company recently completed the purchase of four major land parcels in the path of growth in major metropolitan areas (Phoenix, Reno, Las Vegas, and Orlando). The aggregate value of the properties is more than $22 million dollars.

These transactions include:
•  More than 100 finished residential lots on approximately 70 acres within a master-planned community in a high-growth Phoenix suburb. 
• A super pad site consisting of nearly 21 acres of residential zoned land in the northeast quadrant of the Reno-Sparks metropolitan area.
• A super pad site consisting of nearly 22 acres zoned high-density residential located in the northwest submarket of Las Vegas, Nevada.
• More than 150 residential lots within a two-phase subdivision located northwest of Orlando.

Since 2004, the Acquisitions division of DBSI has acquired over 200 properties valued in excess of $2 billion in more than 30 states. Their primary focus is to locate and acquire high-quality real estate such as retail, office, flex, industrial and multifamily offerings. DBSI has acquisition offices located in Atlanta, Boise, and Chicago.
