Strategic Investments for Long-Term Value
Perfectly positioned to capitalize on current market dislocations—where rising costs and capital constraints have slowed development—by targeting assets priced below replacement cost. This acquisitions strategy is designed to unlock value, create upside, and deliver strong long-term, risk-adjusted returns.
Why Our Approach Works
Strategic Market Entry
We acquire properties at significant discounts to replacement cost in high-growth markets, setting the stage for strong returns as conditions improve.
Disciplined Growth Execution
By blending institutional-grade processes with private firm agility, LPG moves swiftly and decisively in competitive environments.
Fully Integrated Execution
From acquisitions to asset management to property management, our vertically integrated platform ensures operational efficiency, value creation, and execution precision.
Our Investment Model
LPG’s acquisition process is rigorous, data-driven, and results-oriented. Here’s how we create value
Initial Screening
We begin by identifying opportunities that align with our strategic criteria. This includes analyzing property type, market dynamics, and growth potential. A preliminary evaluation of the asset’s location and financial profile helps us determine its feasibility for further diligence.
Due Diligence
Our team conducts in-depth financial underwriting using proprietary models, along with on-site inspections and a comprehensive review of legal, environmental, and physical condition. We compare market comps, evaluate value-add potential, and assess all key risks to ensure a data-driven investment approach.
Valuation &
Purchase Offer
We refine the investment thesis and establish a competitive valuation. Once validated, we structure a purchase offer with appropriate contingencies, ensuring sufficient time for final diligence and stakeholder alignment before closing.
In-Depth Research &
Capital Raise
We deepen our analysis through expert consultations, municipal coordination, and capital planning. This stage includes identifying zoning or entitlement requirements, confirming cost assumptions, and finalizing the equity and debt capital stack.
Asset Management &
Value Creation
Post-acquisition, our focus shifts to proactive management. We implement operational improvements, oversee renovations or repositioning strategies, and continuously monitor performance to maximize cash flow and property value.
Refinancing & Disposition
We explore refinancing options to return capital efficiently and enhance returns. When the asset reaches its strategic maturity, we execute a timely disposition plan aligned with investor goals and market timing.
CASE-STUDY
Highline Lofts Value-Add Investment (Aurora, CO)
In 2017, Lowe Property Group acquired Skyline View Apartments, a 1972-vintage, 112-unit community in Aurora, Colorado, strategically located adjacent to the popular Highline Park within the Denver MSA. Recognizing the asset’s potential, LPG purchased the property for $17.1 million ($153,000 per unit) and launched a comprehensive value-add strategy.
The firm invested approximately $15,000 per unit to implement a modern interior renovation program, enhance the clubhouse and amenity package, and improve curb appeal. The property was rebranded as Highline Lofts, signaling its transformation and aligning with the surrounding neighborhood’s lifestyle appeal.
With an all-in basis of $172,000 per unit, LPG successfully repositioned the asset and capitalized on favorable market conditions, ultimately selling the property four years after closing at $260,000 per unit—13% above the year-10 proforma value. The investment generated over a 25% gross IRR and 2.44x gross equity multiple over the hold period.

Preferred Equity Fund I
Flexible Investing with Attractive Risk Adjusted Returns.
Target Returns [10-15% IRR]
Investing in this open-ended evergreen fund offers a 7% preferred return on called capital, plus an 85/15 split of the fund’s upside (available after a minimum one-year hold). While the fund has already achieved an unrealized IRR of x% and a xx equity multiple, long-term investors can target returns in the 10–15% IRR range over a multi-year horizon.
Objectives
LPG applies the same rigorous underwriting process to preferred equity investments as it does to its own ground-up developments and value-add acquisitions. Drawing on deep development and acquisition experience, LPG targets high-quality real estate and trusted sponsors, providing rescue capital with strong downside protection. Each investment includes substantial subordinate common equity, creating a meaningful cushion in adverse scenarios. LPG also structures deals to allow for control rights in downside situations.
Hold Period [1 YR+]
As an open-ended evergreen fund, investors have flexibility to withdraw their principal on their own timeline. However, to maximize risk-adjusted returns and participate in the 85/15 upside split, a holding period of at least one year is recommended.
Silos Building 2
Mixed-income, downtown multifamily with long-term upside and opportunity zone benefits.
Target Returns [6%+ YOC]
Silos Building 2 targets a strong, risk-adjusted return profile with a projected stabilized yield on cost of approximately 6.1%, supported by FHA-insured financing and opportunity zone benefits. Similar to Building 3, the project is underwritten to generate a project-level IRR in the 14–17% range over a 5- to 10-year hold, driven by conservative assumptions, strong market fundamentals, and long-term value creation in a high-demand, supply-constrained downtown location.
Objectives
Silos Building 2 offers a high-quality, mixed-income multifamily community in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, leveraging opportunity zone benefits and HUD 221(d)(4) financing to reduce risk and enhance long-term returns. With 275 units—80% market-rate and 20% workforce housing at 80% AMI—the project is designed to meet a broad range of renter demand while delivering strong yield on cost. The building will share top-tier amenities with adjacent buildings in the master-planned community, creating a vibrant, integrated living experience at a significant discount to comparable luxury projects.
Hold Period [5-10 YR+]
Silos Building 2 is designed for a long-term hold, with a targeted investment horizon of 5 to 10 years. This timeline allows the project to fully benefit from opportunity zone tax advantages, achieve operational stabilization, and capitalize on long-term rent growth in a high-demand downtown market. The hold strategy also provides flexibility to exit opportunistically based on market conditions while maximizing overall value creation.
Silos Building 3
High-design, Class A multifamily delivering into a rare downtown Salt Lake supply shortage
Target Returns [17% IRR]
Silo Park Apartments Building 3 is projected to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns, with a targeted project-level IRR of 17.0% over a 5-year hold and 14.1% over a 10-year hold. The expected equity multiples are 1.9x and 2.6x over those same timeframes, supported by a projected return on cost of 6.1% untrended and 6.7% trended, positioning the project to outperform as it delivers into a significantly undersupplied Salt Lake City market.
Objectives
The strategy for Silo Park Apartments Building 3 is to develop a high-quality, 219-unit Class A multifamily community that capitalizes on Salt Lake City’s urban growth and a projected supply shortage. Scheduled to deliver in a year with historically low new inventory, the project is designed to offer top-tier finishes and amenities at a ~20% discount to peak market rents, attracting strong demand. Leveraging the success of the adjacent Post District and existing infrastructure, Building 3 is positioned to deliver outsized returns through efficient lease-up and long-term value creation.
Hold Period [5-10 YR]
Silo Park Apartments Building 3 is underwritten with flexible hold scenarios, targeting a 5- to 10-year investment period. This range allows for both opportunistic early exit potential and longer-term value creation as the market strengthens post-delivery. The project’s prime timing, entering an undersupplied market, supports strong initial lease-up performance with the optionality to hold through a full market cycle to maximize investor returns.
