Acquisition

We offer acquisition advisory and real estate services to clients who are initiating feasibility studies, acquiring and entitling land, repositioning assets, investing in joint ventures, or redeveloping existing buildings.

Whether it is working with first-time investors or national organizations with local portfolio expansion plans, Gravitas helps buyers find the right property to fit their needs. As a partner of Tree Ridge Realty of Cincinnati, Ohio, the Gravitas team has the tools and experience necessary to match the right buyer with the right space.

Specific acquisition services include the following:

Property / Project Selection – assistance in identification of potential projects in our region. Gravitas can leverage its strong relationships with local government organizations and property intermediaries to facilitate potential transactions. We find that projects benefit from the strategic advice Gravitas provides on structuring acquisitions and joint ventures.

Acquisition Analysis – proforma modeling of projects with a heavy emphasis on creating models that allow for flexibility of decisions and inclusion of different scenario analyses.

Due Diligence – management or assistance in the compilation and review of vital due diligence documentation and communication with associated sellers and vendors. This includes developing and using relationships with local partners and service providers to expedite due diligence analysis, which will be managed through a transparent, technology based process.

Economic Reports / Studies – research, supplemental reporting, and analysis for clients who need additional information to back-up proposed business plans. Often this will be a review of existing reports, compilation of findings, and research of additional information required to meet the goals and objectives of the client.

Community Outreach – direct communication with and organization of various local stakeholders early in the investment process to determine project feasibility before real dollars are spent on due diligence. Community outreach is a critical element of any project and is distinct from the entitlement process. Gravitas will leverage its public and private relationships to assess the viability of a development project and establish a positive impression on local community members, which have proven especially useful for a broad range of clients.
