Investment Philosophy

Hands-On Management
Worldco creates value through active, hands-on management, which includes in-depth analysis of the highest and best use, strategic capital improvements, implementing operational efficiencies, and continuously leasing rolling space.

Capital Preservation
Worldco focuses on capital preservation, emphasizing appropriate leverage, cash flow, and realistic returns. Worldco invests significant equity into each project, never relying on financial engineering or market swings for a project's success.

Long-Term Perspective
Worldco recognizes that real estate and development often require discipline and patience to fully recognize a project's potential. As such, our capital is not restricted by a set timeframe. Rather, Worldco remains committed throughout the life of a project, from inception to development to management, and emphasizes holding power to weather varying market conditions.
