Jamestown manages an open-end core-plus real estate investment vehicle for institutional investors, targeting US core-plus office, retail and mixed-use assets.
Since 2009, Jamestown has managed timberland in the US South through a series of closed-end funds and an institutional open-end fund.
With an office in Bogotá, Colombia, Jamestown also focuses on opportunistic real estate investments in the Andean countries of Colombia, Peru, Chile and Argentina, raising closed-end funds for institutional investors.
Investment principles & strategy
Jamestown believes in the long-term attractiveness of the real estate market in Latin America based on the following principal factors:
- Long term macroeconomic growth and thriving and maturing democracies;
- Chronic low- and middle-income housing shortages and new supply constraints;
- Increasing mortgage availability;
- Favourable demographics; and
- Government support for the sector.
Jamestown’s Latin America division invests in for-sale residential development projects and commercial properties, including retail developments in major metropolitan areas of Latin America.
Strategic corporate development
Jamestown’s open-end core-plus fund with a focus on premier office, retail and mixed-use assets in major US metropolitan centres seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through a combination of stable cash yield and long-term capital appreciation driven by a focus on growing NOI.
Jamestown’s timber platform acquires, owns, operates, and sells core timberland properties in the US located in prime timber markets which are managed primarily for timber production.
In Latin America, Jamestown targets major metropolitan areas that exhibit sound real estate fundamentals and prospects for long-term economic growth, with a primary focus on Colombia, Peru, Chile and a secondary focus on Argentina.
