A Repeatable Process

Our Process

We Reposition Properties and Sites

JAB uses a disciplined, repeatable approach to identify and acquire underperforming opportunities then develop, reposition or reconstruct them as modern upscale multi-unit apartment properties.

We generally hold properties from one-to-eight years post acquisition.

Step 1

Select Cities

We select cities based on 15 weighted metrics, ranking the demographic, economic and housing trends of every major city in the U.S.

Step 2

Identify Neighborhoods

We put boots on the ground to evaluate neighborhoods, inventory and atmosphere.

Step 3

Source, Identify & Acquire Properties

We utilize our proprietary database to identify properties. By contacting ownership directly, we minimize disruption to current management and tenants.

Step 4

Reposition & Construction

Renovation, adaptive reuse and ground-up construction follow JAB's project paradigm.

Step 5

Lease & Operate

We oversee execution of day-to-day management and leasing.

Step 6

Sales & Disposition

Our strong relationships, cultivated with local brokers, facilitate sales and disposition.

Well-Defined Target Markets

Targeted Cities

Strong Local Economies

Chicago

Denver

Phoenix

Salt Lake City

Chicago, IL

Chicago is the third largest real estate market in the country and has a high volume of inventory for redevelopment. As home to the headquarters of numerous multinational corporations, the city attracts well-educated young professionals. Chicago boasts a variety of desirable neighborhoods that cater to our target demographic.

Denver, CO

Denver attracts well educated, high-earning young professionals with its strong local economy and breadth of employers. Distinct, desirable areas provide young professionals a neighborhood feel near downtown. Abundant inventory of non-renovated vintage apartment buildings is coupled with a dearth of sophisticated renovation groups.

Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix is well positioned as the fifth largest metro in the country, with a healthy mix of dated and new inventory and land for new development throughout the valley. With strong local employment, including a large public university, the Phoenix metro is incredibly diverse, attracting a breadth of residents from all over the country. An attractive alternative to many other Western cities, the Phoenix metro draws JAB’s target demographic from many other cities around the country.

Salt Lake City, UT

Salt Lake City has a healthy mix of existing inventory in need of renovation, Class A buildings, and land prime for development. The city’s local government is pro-business and pro-development. Numerous multinational employers in health care, tech and banking, have headquarters or large offices in Salt Lake City, drawing JAB’s target demographics.

Targeted Neighborhoods

Lifestyle-Focused Urban Communities

We select cities that offer the proper balance of demographics and community features. We look for in-demand neighborhoods with a shortage of upscale, life-style focused apartment offerings.

We target city neighborhoods that foster lifestyle living. These neighborhoods offer good public transportation, a varied and active nightlife, dining options, cultural attractions, and access to boutiques, national retailers and grocery stores — all within walking distance.

Targeted Tenancy

Young, Well-Educated Upscale Professionals

Young urbanites remain single longer than the previous generation and spend a greater percentage of their income on housing. They have children later, live additional years in the city and enjoy the benefits of proximity and diversity.

JAB investment properties are targeted to well-educated young professionals who’ll pay a premium for high-quality residences in a neighborhood setting.
