Built Asset
Our investments in Built Asset are focused on Class A Multifamily assets that are institution – grade and Medical Office Buildings that deliver upside in return potential through strategies that enhance the top line revenue growth and cost optimization.
Most of our investments in development projects are in the Austin (Central Texas) area through our strategic partnership with Red Oak Development Group. A hotbed for startups, the Greater Austin Metropolitan area has seen incredible growth over the last 15 years, drawing in large presence from established companies like Google, Facebook/Meta, Oracle, Amazon, Tesla, Samsung, Indeed, Expedia, etc... During the Global Financial Crisis the Austin area was one of the most resilient in the country. This is all due to the diverse economy, the desirability of the area drawing non stop in migration of residents from around the country into the area. Housing supply has not been able to keep up with demand. With the semiconductor industry expanding into the area with multi billion dollar semiconductor plants by Samsung, and others, this area is poised for much more growth over the next decade and beyond
Our CEO
David Teo ‘s experience in business and real estate spans across two decades. Born and raised in Singapore, he left for the United States to attend the University of Texas at Austin. Graduating with a degree in Computer Science, he spent several years in the Digital Security industry in Product Management, Marketing, and Strategy. Eventually, the entrepreneurial bug bit, and he was drawn into the world of tech startups, which he quickly pivoted to Real Estate, first focusing on infill development where he started a development company to build high-end condominium units within 3 miles of downtown Austin. With the growth of that business, he expanded and evolved into a Commercial Real Estate investment firm, growing it to over $300MM in invested asset value with assets ranging from Multifamily, Medical Office Buildings, Land Development, and others.
