Business Plan

The business plan for the Northwest Houston Shallow Bay Portfolio aligns very similarly to our recent acquisition on Tanner Rd. We will first execute exterior improvements including siding repairs, paint, improved suite signage, concrete repairs, a re-stripe of the parking lot and any required roof and gutter repairs. This will allow us to provide a clean and modern feel to the business park, as well as help increase the ratio of existing tenants that will renew at market rates and stay at the site. For tenants that vacate the property, we will perform interior renovations of the bay such as upgrading lighting, LVT flooring in the office spaces as well as a fresh coat of paint. These upgrades will offer refreshed spaces to minimize downtime and maximize revenue at these bays.

The project is 100% leased today, and each lease offers the opportunity to terminate with 60 days notice at any lease execution anniversary. This creates incredible flexibility to execute our value add plan while maintaining in place cash flow. The bays currently have an average in place net lease rate of $.41/SF, and we are underwriting bringing the average lease rate across the portfolio up to $.83/SF by month 16 of ownership. We have benchmarked our underwritten lease rates to metal product in the Northwest Houston submarket that have an inferior exterior presentation in comparison to what our budgeted capital improvement plan will deliver. This conservative underwriting creates a significant buffer, as our leasing assumptions are 10-15% lower than assets that have implemented the strong capital improvement plan we are budgeting for. Therefore, we are confident in our ability to drive our yield north of 10% in less than two years.

Market Analysis

Shallow Bay Industrial Outperforming Class A Industrial

Per JLL, Houston’s small to mid-size industrial inventory is outperforming the market with below-average vacancies. While large-tenant deals are quick to move the needle, it’s worth noting that over 75% of leases so far this year (by count) are smaller than 100,000 s.f. in size. With the Northwest Houston Shallow Bay Portfolio consisting of an average building size sub 30,000 s.f. and bay sizes averaging 1,721 s.f. the portfolio is posed to capture the upside in this segment and outperform the market at large.

At Hanson Capital Group, experience is not just a metric—it’s our foundation. Boasting over 100 years of combined expertise in real estate, we’ve cultivated a reputation for excellence and strategic insight in the market. Our formidable investments, nearing $300,000,000 under management, are a testament to our sustained success. Driving our vision forward is a harmonized team of executives and directors. CEO Chris Hanson, COO Zach Price, Managing Director of Acquisitions Chris Pike, and Managing Director of Asset Management Jim Tainter lead the charge. Together, they craft the trajectory for Hanson Capital Group, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the real estate industry.

Established in 2008, Hanson Capital Group embarked on its mission to become a trusted auction bidding service provider and create a lasting enterprise focused on creating wealth for ourselves and our partners. Aligning with prominent institutions, our dedication and energy quickly became evident, resulting in the acquisition of over 1,500 single-family homes out of foreclosure within an impressive six-year span. However, our sights were set higher. Identifying a unique opportunity to elevate our bidding pursuits, Hanson Capital, LLC was established in 2010 as a state-licensed mortgage bank. Today, Hanson Capital thrives as a leading hard money and bridge debt lender, and, to date, has overseen transactions exceeding $500 million, while consistently maintaining an equity portfolio averaging $40 million.

While our initial investments were rooted in real estate backed lending, in 2010 we began our pursuit of direct investment in value-add multifamily assets. After nearly a decade of that value-add multifamily strategy, and after buying and selling a few thousand apartment doors, our focus shifted in 2018 towards industrial real estate, which continues to be the focus today.

We are now deeply entrenched in industrial real estate within the so-called “Sun Belt”, with a notable presence in strategic areas like California, Arizona, and Texas. The result of this commitment is over $250,000,000 in industrial real estate and over 1.4 million square feet of current assets under management.

Our process is invaluable to our success. All investment decisions are made by our investment committee in accordance with our Investment Policy Statement (IPS). Strategically crafted, the IPS emphasizes our central mission: capitalizing on inefficiencies in real estate to provide sustainable returns through proven and disciplined investment and management strategies. Every facet of the IPS has been intricately designed to demystify our methodologies, underscoring our commitment to transparency, accountability, and the responsible management of entrusted capital. The IPS also guides us in making informed, consistent decisions, helping to mitigate risks, and optimize returns, while ensuring that our actions align with our long-term investment objectives.
