Why McKinley?
Decision Making Process
McKinley’s extensive investment experience and California market knowledge enable us to react quickly and efficiently through each step of the investment process. Grounded in conservative principles and disciplined underwriting, McKinley's principals make all investment decisions. This structure allows us to seize compelling opportunities without the bureaucratic slowdowns often created by investment committees, review boards, or other sponsoring financial institutions.
McKinley's Unique Operating Model
Our unique operating model offers McKinley's investors the opportunity to receive accelerated returns from a limited promote structure and lower fees. McKinley is experienced in successfully navigating complex transactions and structuring deals in a manner that identifies opportunities often unrecognized by other investors and mitigates potential risks to achieve superior returns.
Experienced Team
With over 180 years of collective real estate experience and over 7,000 units of real estate development, investment, and construction experience, McKinley's principals understand the intricacies and challenges that project sponsors face. The principals have served in executive positions with some of the leading development, homebuilding, and financial service firms in the industry such as Catellus Residential, Citibank, Lennar, and Morgan Stanley Real Estate.
Principal Involvement throughout the Project
Unlike other firms that may hand the project over to an underwriting or asset management group, McKinley's principals are always actively involved in every project from sourcing through completion. This hands-on approach gives us great control over each step of the investment process.
McKinley Strategy
During the current economic downturn, McKinley has made investments that do not rely on significant market appreciation to generate returns. Instead, we have taken a barbell approach by both utilizing the expertise of our team to create value through effective transaction structuring and the repositioning and re-entitling of longer-term investments, while at the same time taking advantage of short-term opportunities created by market inefficiencies.
