To find opportunity, every detail matters. We live in the minutia but we never lose sight of the big picture.
Bridge Office Fund Manager LLC (“Bridge Office”) targets value-add commercial office assets in US prime suburban submarkets. Steady job growth, lack of new supply and aging existing inventory have created opportunities to acquire quality office assets at significant discounts to replacement costs. Building on Bridge’s deep industry expertise and multi-cycle track record as a seasoned owner/operator, Bridge Office offers specialized opportunities in acquiring well-located, high-quality office assets with outstanding risk/reward metrics.
Bridge Office targets select US markets that are projected to materially outperform national averages.
Prime suburban submarkets where Bridge operates exhibit substantially higher growth rates and absorption, yet lag in new construction, placing Bridge in a differentiated position to be able to capitalize on this market opportunity. Targeting work-live-play hubs, Bridge Office creates desirable working spaces in areas where people want to be.
One of our goals is to activate spaces within our assets. Our investment approach combines a disciplined asset selection process with a focus on operationally-oriented, value-added improvements that increase tenant satisfaction and solve vacancy issues. Typical incremental capital investments include creating common area breakout rooms, conference centers, fitness facilities, and other amenities in high demand by today’s tenants. Our extensive “boots-on-the-ground” operating network and closeness to our assets allows us to address local tenant needs on a comprehensive basis and to transform ordinary office properties into state of the art, modern, appealing workspaces that command premium market rents and high occupancies.
