Our Approach

How We Invest

Investment in best-in-class commercial property through a rigorous process

CanFirst Capital Management actively pursues industrial, office, and retail acquisitions and development opportunities. The focus of the acquisition program is to strategically and opportunistically acquire properties at attractive going-in returns and at a discount to replacement cost. The following are the criteria that form the basis of CanFirst’s underwriting objectives:

Source


Through CanFirst’s extensive network, properties are sourced through broadly marketed listings, off-market opportunities, and direct real estate purchases.

Invest


CanFirst's experienced team is able to quickly execute investment decisions and take advantage of fluid opportunities ahead of competitors.

Filter


With over 110 years of experience between the four partners, the CanFirst team identifies fitting assets and generates an investment thesis.

Harvest


CanFirst actively asset manages all of our properties to maximize performance. Properties are managed by “best-in-class” 3rd party property managers to oversee daily operations. When value has been created, or we believe the long term value of a property is slowing, we sell and crystalize value for investors.
