investment strategy
Property Entitlement
BID leverages their experience in design and engineering to manage projects through the entitlement process rapidly and with professional oversight. Our partners architectural and engineering experience helps to mitigate risk when evaluating a potential project for acquisition, possibly identifying pitfalls that others may not be aware of allowing us to avoid certain projects. In addition, this experience allows us to stay on target with timelines for projects. BID Preferred Business Model is about creating added value by successfully having a property entitled. A comprehensive risk mitigation strategy was developed to avoid certain properties that may have unforeseen challenges to getting entitled.
Repositioning & Value-Add
Property repositioning and select value-add projects are considered. May be office-to-residential conversions or rezoning of industrial property to residential. BID is poised to benefit from the current government policies promoting and giving preference to specific kinds of developments with emphasis on affordable housing residential development in order to alleviate the housing shortage which is estimated to be over 3 million units nationwide. BID has established a relationship with a strategic end-buyer' who is an affordable housing developer funded by the Polish National Development Bank (BGK). Most projects acquired by BID for entitlement will have a pre-selected end buyer' in place.
Boutique Luxury Development
Development of boutique residential projects designed with unique features in design, environmentally conscious and energy-efficient living concepts, implemented through state-of-the-art ‘smart home’ technologies. It is our desire to scale the concept with a participating financial partner to expand the Eco-Community housing lifestyle throughout Warsaw and other cities in Poland. Also, BID will develop other select short-term luxury development projects that may fit our investment criteria.
