Grubb Properties’ mission is to maximize the performance of the assets that have been entrusted to us. We invest in branded, moderate-priced rental housing and value-oriented office properties with land that can be converted to Link Apartments® sites through zoning and shared parking.
This strategy provides a solid, defensive investment thesis as a result of its demographic-driven demand strategy and is proven by a long and consistently strong fund track record. Since 2002, the company has generated more than $1 billion in real estate investment transactions, the sum total of which generated a compounded, net, weighted-average return in excess of 40%.

Investment Strategy
Our investment strategy focuses on essential housing, which we believe to be one of the most resilient asset classes.
Despite a backdrop of the biggest need, there is little new construction within this crucial sector. For the investor, essential housing provides a stronger margin of safety than building luxury apartments, because essential housing is driven by demographics rather than by how well the economy is performing at any given moment. The large Millennial and Gen Z populations are already facing a housing shortage, and the cost pressures constraining the supply are only going to intensify over the next few years.
Link Apartments℠
We pursue Essential Housing through our Link Apartments℠ developments where Grubb Properties has made a commitment to developing highly innovative, efficient, scalable and branded solutions that help fill the growing essential housing gap across the United States. With a focus on location (urban, transit oriented, close to major fixed employers (e.g., universities, medical centers) and price point with target rents affordable to residents earning 60-140% of the area median income.
Multifamily and Office Investment
Our current investment strategy is born from our deep experience in both multifamily and office investment. This plays out in methods such as our innovative site selection, which helps us reduce costs. For example, in many markets we acquire office buildings in urban infill locations with acres of surface parking. We then develop a Link Apartments℠ community on that land, with a parking garage that is shared between the tenant and resident uses. This strategy saves us construction costs and provides a steady non-tenant revenue stream, allowing us to pass the savings on to our residents.

Dual Market Strategy
Our dual market strategy positions us for maximum success.
Resilient – Major US markets such as Denver, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington DC, have a demonstrated history of lower correlation to traditional economic cycles. In these markets, new supply has slowed, exacerbating the housing crisis, leading to future rent growth.
Growth – Secondary US markets such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh and Tampa are usually more cyclical, but with substantially higher growth dynamics during expansions. Their urbanization fits our value-add office strategy with parking conversion to apartment sites.
