How to Identify Value in an Older Property

Stos: “In a nutshell: focus on what you know, and keep your eye on what’s ahead.”

SAN DIEGO—It’s important to be aware of what today’s users want and to think about how those demands will evolve; from there, execute based on the anticipated needs, Stos Partners principal CJ Stos tells GlobeSt.com. The privately held commercial real estate investment and management firm recently completed three commercial-property transactions in Southern California, including the sale of a multi-tenant industrial asset in Rowland Heights, the acquisition of a single-story office building in Encinitas and the acquisition of a two-story office building in San Dimas.

The company’s investment platform centers on recognizing inherent value. Stos is actively acquiring industrial, office, and mixed-use properties in coastal and urban areas of Southern California that are well-located but in need of hands on management to realize full asset value.
