Adding Value through meaningful innovation
Value-Add Specialists
The team at Lakewood collectively has more than 150 years of experience in real estate development. The firm takes great pride in adding value to each opportunity through the creation of development plans that protect against downside risk while producing superior returns on our investments. The company leverages sophisticated development strategies, timely capital deployment, and collaboration with best-in-class partners to achieve superior results.
The principals of the firm are disciples of the value-investing philosophy and have bought billions of dollars of distressed assets. The senior design team has worked on projects in the US, Japan, China, Singapore, Myanmar, Australia, Portugal, and Italy and they bring a global perspective to each new opportunity. As with the concept above that we created for the redevelopment of an in-fill site, the firm is capable of envisioning complex solutions to new opportunities or real estate projects that have struggled in the past- regardless of the scale or geography.
Human-Centric Innovations
Too often plans in architecture, technology, or planning result in sterile environments that celebrate innovation over utility. Lakewood believes lasting achievements in real estate development occur when innovations are used as tools to serve the people who live and work in its communities. The concept above depicts an idea we explored for the creation of a village green in an urban setting that would become a central gathering place.
Lasting Legacy
Lakewood strives to create financially successful environments that will be admired and appreciated for their beauty and utility by future generations. The depiction above of a linear urban park we envisioned in a high-density district explores how public spaces can provide a balance against the massing of large buildings and can become unifying elements in large master-plan communities.
