| Condition | Value-add or underperforming properties requiring rehabilitation, repositioning, and re-leasing — as well as distressed properties requiring considerable redevelopment work — are strongly preferred. |

We welcome introductions from brokers, owners, lenders, and institutional partners. Duke Real Estate Group is an active acquirer and responds promptly to well-qualified opportunities.
As veteran developers, we understand that sophisticated real estate transactions must work for all stakeholders. Sellers, lenders, municipalities, and capital partners each have distinct needs — and our experience navigating complex multi-party transactions makes us a reliable and resourceful transaction partner.
Our financial relationships allow for certainty of execution, and our operational capabilities allow us to move quickly from letter of intent through closing and into the value-creation phase. We do not require lengthy committee approvals or institutional chain-of-command processes.
Established capital relationships enable rapid due diligence review and transaction closing when time is of the essence.
We own and manage our assets directly, with full oversight of leasing, construction, tenant relations, and property management.
Experience with note purchases, deed-in-lieu negotiations, municipal incentive packages, and complex public-private partnerships gives us access to transactions that others cannot execute.
More than 20 years and 5 million square feet of successfully executed transactions across retail, office, hospitality, residential, and mixed-use assets in major markets nationwide.
