Taurus’ approach to investing allows for the flexibility to react quickly to changing market fundamentals and investment opportunities, however, its underlying investment thesis remains:

develop investment strategies that target properties (and/or property sectors) offering intrinsic long-term value, that can be acquired at attractive values relative to replacement cost, with an ability to enhance cash flows through renovation and development

Through traditional value-add upgrades and a focus on sustainability utilizing its in-house sustainability expertise RENU, Taurus focuses on revitalizing assets, making them more valuable to the community and healthier for the environment, while also improving property operations and the quality of life for tenants.
Attention to detail on value-add projects allows for appreciation of capital, strong current yields, and income growth over the hold period.

Office

Taurus’ office strategy focuses on suburban locations, strong employment growth, and access to infrastructure and amenities.
The strategy focuses on Class A/B assets that provide upside potential through additional lease-up, renovation, or re-positioning.

Mixed Use

Taurus’ mixed-use strategy is based on dense, large-scale developments, typically anchored by retail or office uses, located in high density urban neighborhoods which feature a young population that values convenience.
Located in the US, as well as in growth markets like India and Turkey, mixed use developments typically involve Hospitality and Residential components that aim to leverage the synergy between the different uses to build superior value across the entire development.
