Investment Strategies
‍

CSC integrates a rigorous due diligence framework, proprietary market analytics, and best-in-class operational oversight to optimize investment performance. Our expertise spans multiple investment strategies, including:

Core & Core-Plus Investments
Our Core+ strategy focuses on stabilized, income-generating real estate in supply-constrained markets, where strategic asset management and operational efficiencies can enhance long-term performance. With a disciplined approach to capital deployment and risk-adjusted returns, CSC Real Estate acquires assets in key urban corridors that benefit from strong demographics, infrastructure, and economic fundamentals. Our North American Core+ portfolio prioritizes: Multifamily residential – Urban, transit-oriented rental communities with long-term income stability. Workforce & mixed-use housing – Adaptive reuse strategies that enhance affordability and maximize NOI.
‍
Value-Add & Opportunistic Strategies

CSC Real Estate targets underutilized, mismanaged, or distressed assets in high-barrier, high-demand markets, where we can unlock substantial upside through adaptive reuse and institutional-grade repositioning. We acquire assets below replacement cost, restructure capital stacks, and execute transformative renovations that drive long-term value. Post-acquisition, our vertically integrated team implements best-in-class operational and asset management strategies, ensuring that each property reaches its full economic and investment potential before exiting at an optimized valuation.

Debt & Special Situations

CSC Real Estate’s debt investment platform provides creative and capital-efficient financing solutions across the capital structure and risk spectrum. We strategically deploy capital in high-quality, income-generating assets, offering tailored lending structures that meet the needs of borrowers while securing strong risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
