Opportunities

Core
We target substantially stabilized real estate properties with a focus on global gateway cities. Our Core+ strategy features longer hold periods as we seek to unlock additional value post-acquisition, driving our total return.
We design residential buildings, private residences, restaurants and hotels.
We develop property throughout the United States, particularly in rapidly transforming urban neighborhoods.
Culture
The purpose of our business has always been guided by professionals who want to positively contribute to the built environment.

Investment and Development
KSH Empire Group utilizes a core set of guiding principles targeting investments with low volatility and high returns, resulting in strong performance throughout the economic cycle. Our success in the industry has fueled our growth and strengthened our strategic partnerships. We oversee the development process from the perspective of an owner and investor and conduct an in-depth market analysis of the risks and rewards and deployment of capital, to meet or exceed investment objectives. Additionally, we are the development manager for each of our projects, providing consultancy and advisory services, and optimizing our existing network of relationships and resources to maximize the potential return on investment.
Construction
Our team of seasoned construction professionals has over 140 years of combined technical expertise and knowledge across a wide range of property types. From inception to completion, our team is involved every step of the way: pre-construction planning, obtaining entitlements, budget development and execution, scheduling, contract procurement, and close-out. Using unique methods of extracting value while simultaneously providing the highest standards of quality are the hallmarks of our construction team’s process.
Marketing and Sales
Marketing, sales and leasing for our portfolio is managed directly by our marketing and sales team from inception to completion. Strategically, relying on a keen awareness of industry analytics and trends is our key to maximizing market share and optimizing absorption. At the predevelopment phase, our marketing team works in concert with the architects and designer to craft the property in alignment with current demands.
KSH Empire Group’s investment and development, construction and marketing and sales teams remain fully-integrated throughout the entire life cycle of a project to ensure efficiency and synchrony.

Additional Information
KSH Empire Group has been consistently successful by focusing on locations with strong growth potential, and opportunities where value is realized through creative and experienced hands-on management. This is accomplished by recognizing a property’s untapped potential while considering downside risks. This conservative approach, with strategically-timed acquisitions, has provided outsized investment returns for over four decades.
KSH Empire Group’s philosophy of long-term ownership drives a commitment to quality and an attention to detail in all aspects of property development and its subsequent management. The partners personally oversee all phases of a project. This close level of involvement is integral to the company’s success. Combined with a deep understanding of each neighborhood, the result is a well-designed, site-appropriate building that maximizes value creation with budgetary discipline. Ongoing property operations show consistently low vacancy and high tenant retention, producing stable cash flow.
KSH Empire Group prides itself on its reputation and flexibility, and on meeting its responsibilities to its investors. This is evidenced by numerous successful partnerships,
