    *Commercial office, medical, condominiums and retail with greater than 85% occupancy to tenants with strong credit and with lease expirations not less than five years.

    *Multi family with greater than 90% occupancy in major metropolitan markets and submarkets across the United States.

    Value-add Opportunities

    Harvard Capital Partners is currently pursuing investments in varied asset classes, markets and sectors focusing primarily on acquiring and improving existing properties rather than new development. Our ideal investment is one in which our construction expertise allows us to complete a stalled project or add similar value. Harvard Capital Partners differentiates itself through its relationships with real estate professionals in various markets that enable us to gain access to opportunities prior to their being made available to the general public.

    Harvard Capital Partners believes that today’s commercial real estate marketplace represents one of the greatest opportunities for investment in years. We believe that the disequilibrium that exists between demand and supply for virtually all classes of real estate as well as the volatility that exists in the capital markets will translate over the next 3-5 years into one of the greatest opportunities for wealth transfer since the Great Depression. It is our goal to identify and exploit this “once in a lifetime” opportunity for the benefit of our investors and ourselves. We seek to purchase assets at no more than 60% of their replacement value.

  • Harvard Capital Partners is able to assist both borrowers and lenders with the recapitalization of existing projects whose market value has fallen below their debt level or whose loan is approaching or has already reached maturity. We work with a number of capital partners including Opportunity Funds, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds, Endowments and Insurance companies that wish to allocate capital to this timely opportunity.
