Organized regionally with local market knowledge

Knowledge of local real estate markets and the deal makers in those markets is key to leadership in the commercial real estate industry. Local relationships are imperative to providing successful outcomes.

• KBS has strong relationships with some of the nation’s largest institutional sellers and brokers. This enables KBS the opportunity to secure premier properties that other firms may be unable to acquire.
• When a property is identified for acquisition, KBS develops a business plan for each asset including a well-defined disposition strategy and target cash returns for that property.
• Only those assets meeting the firm’s stringent investment criteria are considered for inclusion in the KBS REIT portfolio.

• KBS leverages the local market expertise of acquisition and asset management professionals in key growth markets across the U.S.
• KBS typically invests in markets with a proven ability to withstand economic fluctuations over time.
• Since KBS’ inception in 1992, KBS has acquired over 1,669 assets, ranging in size from $10 million to more than $600 million. This history of successfully executing transactions and ethical business practices is one reason many of the nation’s top institutional buyers and sellers prefer to work with KBS for multiple transactions.

• KBS asset managers work in tandem with the underwriting and acquisition teams to execute the business strategy for each asset, allowing them to maximize rental income and enhance the value of the property.
• Providing exceptional service to more than 1360 tenants nationwide, the KBS Asset Management Group averages 33 years of experience operating commercial real estate, bringing buildings to stabilized occupancies and maintaining strong income.
• Some of the largest national office service providers consider KBS one of their top clients. The relationships developed with these companies bring invaluable market knowledge to KBS.

• KBS’ disposition discipline includes the regular review of a hold and sell analysis on each asset. This discipline dictates that assets are sold according to the business plan set forth in the underwriting of each property and according to opportunities present in the market.
• KBS has a well-defined disposition strategy for every asset purchased.
• KBS has sold 1,612 assets since inception in 1992, with all assets (sold and current) generating realized proceeds from operating cash flow and asset sales of more than $32.5 billion.
