Investment Criteria
Nicola Wealth Real Estate is aggressively pursuing acquisition opportunities in all asset types in markets across North America. Our growth strategy also involves developing strategic alliances with best-in-class partners. Our preference is for off-market or unlisted opportunities and we pride ourselves on being able to respond quickly and decisively.
We’re committed to thoroughly researching and underwriting opportunities to fully capture their potential. Our attention is focused on opportunities with below market rental rates, quality construction, credit tenancies, and pricing below replacement cost. While we prefer the ability to place new debt on acquisitions, we also have the flexibility to assume existing mortgages or close entirely with cash.
In addition, we are also committed to the basic principles of the UN PRI and a copy of our policy can be found here.
