The LaSalle Income & Growth Funds invest in high quality, but underperforming multifamily, office, industrial and retail properties across the US. The Funds primarily acquire existing income producing properties, improve them through hands-on asset management and sell to core investors. By focusing on the acquisition of existing buildings, the Funds seek a significant income component to underpin the value added total returns. The Funds also invest in ground up development projects in certain strategies.
Since 1996 the team has raised and invested seven funds, of which five are fully liquidated. The experienced and dedicated Fund team, leveraging the overall LaSalle platform, seeks to optimize risk adjusted returns for its investors by predominantly investing through direct ownership of properties, though the Fund also invests alongside joint venture partners in specific situations.
