The principals of Graycliff have always led with the philosophy to align the interests of the firm with those who entrust the firm with their money. This approach means every Graycliff strategy is pursued from an investor’s perspective to achieve the best results possible.

Concentrating on the Right Deals

Graycliff utilizes both macro and micro economic data to support the acquisition and development of well located, high quality, multi-family assets. The use of data is a proven way Graycliff has a track record of identifying trends that lead to successful investments. This analysis is critical for making investment decisions and looks at the current health of the rental market including: market variance, current absorption rate, and development pipeline.

Targeted Location Identification

By pursuing value-add investment opportunities in high growth markets, we acquire assets in areas with increasing population, income and employment. These are high-value, high-quality locations that are exceptionally marketable in respect to escalating demand in the multifamily housing market. Graycliff also digs into the detail behind the growth to ascertain its sustainability. They analyze what is driving the growth, the diversification of the growth, and what types of jobs are being created.

NHE is a full-service real estate company with more than 30 years of real estate experience and over 20 years in multifamily community management expertise. Execution ultimately comes down to the “boots on the ground,” the professionals responsible every day for the management.
