In November 2012, Encore began development on a class-A urban infill development minutes away from Uptown, one of most vibrant neighborhood in Dallas for millennials. The project was a 288-unit, four-story wrap design with 215,000 total square feet. Encore possessed a land acquisition advantage due to strong relationships with local land brokers, which provided the company with a “first look” before other developers. Construction costs were locked-in prior to significant escalation in market pricing; the property was built at $102/SF vs. 2016 construction pricing for a similar product at ~$145/SF. The marketing and leasing strategy was driven by the development of a sleek, new, modern building that would attract millennials, and within two and a half years, the project sold for over a 2x equity multiple.

Hilton College Station Case Study

$46 mm Hospitality Acquisition & Sale – College Station, TX

Apartments for sale Hilton College Station

Hilton College Station was acquired by Encore in September 2010. It is a full-service hotel, built in 1985, with 303 rooms and over 25,000 square feet of meeting space. Encore identified the asset from an institutional owner in an off-market transaction at an attractive entry price (approximately 50% to 55% of replacement cost). The company recognized strong demand drivers such as proximity to Texas A&M University (3rd largest public university in the United States) and limited competition, being the only convention center hotel in the city. Encore improved operations through the implementation of new policies and procedures and by integrating the Hilton onto Encore’s proprietary IT platform. The company held Hilton College Station for four years, infused over $4 million in capital in value-add renovations, and exited north of a 35% IRR.

Intech 12 Case Study

$8.4 MM Office Acquisition & Sale – Indianapolis, IN

Intech 12 is representative of Encore’s value-add strategy in the office sector. The asset is institutional quality, well-located, and a class A office building with convenient access to the airport and commercial business district. Situated in Indianapolis, IN, the area consistently saw a healthy demand for space among large, high-credit tenants due to the region ranking high in most logistics categories (over 75% of the U.S. and Canadian population can be reached within a one-day truck drive). Once acquired, Encore’s strategy was to re-position the building for a single tenant user. Through its relationships in the local brokerage community, the company was aware of several large tenants intending to relocate to Indianapolis within the next 12 months. Encore approached these potential tenants, and during negotiations of a long-term lease with Lowe’s Companies, Encore eventually negotiated the sale of the building to Lowe’s at a substantial profit.

Lakeview Village Case Study

$24.0 mm Mixed-Use Retail Development – D’Iberville, MS

Lakeview Village Shopping Center of D'Iberville, Mississippi

Lakeview Village was developed over several phases and was completed in YEAR with well over 640,000 square feet of retail space occupied by strong national tenants. Located at the intersection of I-10 and I-110, Lakeview Village proved to be a high-traffic location with robust local demographics. The retail center lies four miles from the main entrance of Keesler Air Force Base, which is a significant driver of economic activity in the Gulf Coast, as well as the largest employer in the region and the training base for 40,000 military and medical support staff annually. In addition, the center is only five miles from Beau Rivage, a beachfront MGM Mirage Resort in Biloxi, and is in close proximity to several other Biloxi casinos. In 2014, a new five-lane road expansion was completed to facilitate transportation in and throughout the development. Encore’s close relationship with the city of D’Iberville has helped to drive the growth of Lakeview Village, attract high-quality tenants, increase traffic, and maintain a consistently high demand. While the company still owns a minority interest in a few phases, Encore exited this development project north of a 50% IRR with an average hold period of under 2 years.
