Investment

Since our founding in 1972, Lowe has consistently created and nurtured lasting relationships with our investment clients and partners.  We actively invest alongside quality partners in a wide variety of joint venture structures.

We are committed to transparency and strong real estate investment performance. We work to identify opportunities that match the strengths and competitive advantages of our firm.   We pursue opportunities where we can make a difference with physical and operational improvements, and our background as a property manager and developer gives us insights that inform our approach to uncovering value in real estate assets.

In structuring our ventures, we pride ourselves on offering a full-service model, on having flexibility to meet the needs of our partners and on aligning interests. We currently manage $1.5 billion of investments through joint ventures in both value-add and development strategies.

Development

We have a keen interest in working with others, sharing ideas and customizing approaches and solutions that are specific to the task at hand.  Staying true to place is at the core of our real estate development approach.

There are no ready-made design standards that typify our projects; we view each property with an appreciation of its surroundings and place in the community. Our projects are recognizable by the care that is taken to best serve the interests of everyone involved and deliver the best possible result.

The environments in which we all live, work and play have evolved, bringing new complexity and challenges to a developer’s ability to meet the desires of the marketplace and also serve the needs of the community.  Lowe is ideally suited to meet these challenges.  We specialize in creating customized solutions for our partners and communities by integrating our diverse expertise in all types of commercial real estate developments to deliver superior projects and innovative, lasting environments that connect people and place.

Beyond our real estate expertise, we believe our projects succeed due to the outstanding relationships that we build and maintain with our investors, partners, tenants, guests and communities. We are passionate about creating spaces and finding design solutions that deliver superior returns to our investors and meaningful experiences for our tenants and guests, with minimal impact on the environment. We bring multi-faceted teams who combine design and construction expertise with an enthusiasm for collaborative sharing of ideas and customizing solutions for our partners and communities.

Lowe creates single-tenant and multi-tenant office developments that provide efficient and innovative workplaces. In addition to developing a customized space that satisfies the client’s business needs, we are focused on creating welcoming, engaging, collaborative work environments that help business owners attract and retain satisfied employees in a highly competitive market.

Our concern for the environment is evident in the sustainable practices we integrate into building design.  From the latest innovations in energy efficient practices to simply recycling at building sites, we look for every opportunity to lessen our impact on our environment.

 

Our breadth of expertise gives us a distinct advantage in delivering superior mixed-use developments.  Our background in commercial, residential and hospitality development is ideally suited to creating a mix of uses.

Nowhere is our mission to connect people and place more evident than when combining multiple property types in one location.  The result is a dynamic environment for tenants and guests that provides local amenities as well as a source of revenue to the community.

Retail reVision

Our Retail reVision platform applies Lowe’s decades of experience in commercial real estate development, as well as our specific expertise in multifamily, office and hotel properties, to assessing and repositioning retail real estate.

Retail reVision pursues the redevelopment of existing, underperforming retail properties that can benefit from a program that reinvigorates existing retail properties with new uses, alongside retail and restaurants, which complement the existing community and provide options that engage today’s consumers.

We go beyond conventional retail solutions to create engaging, mixed-use environments that connect people and place.

Retail Development

Our approach to developing new retail projects is specifically tailored to each project and neighborhood, with a primary interest to attract quality retailers that will provide needed services to the community.  We have developed and redeveloped neighborhood centers, power centers and a regional mall.  In addition to our expanding Retail reVision activities, we are currently involved in retail projects as a component of a larger mixed-use and office projects.

We are an active developer of infill multifamily properties with a particular focus on sites with beneficial access to amenities and transit. Our properties are designed to reflect their surroundings and seamlessly integrate with the existing neighborhood.  Each property has an individual character and spirit, with interiors, amenities, gathering spaces and services carefully chosen to give residents what they need and want.  We combine state-of-the-art sustainable practices with design to ensure our properties are energy efficient and environmentally cautious.

Beyond providing shelter, we develop multifamily projects that help our residents integrate all aspects of their lives.  We strive to create environments that provide a comfortable, welcoming home as well as a place for work, entertaining, and recreation.

We also partner with local experts across the country to develop communities that offer affordable homes in a safe and welcoming environment. Our goal is to apply our real estate expertise, and collective efforts to expedite filling our nation’s need – and demand – for affordable housing communities that will connect people and place and make life better for those we serve.

 

Concord Communities, a wholly owned Lowe subsidiary, was founded to address the critical shortage of affordable housing that our nation is facing. We see this as a collective problem and we believe the solution is rooted in responsible and empathetic development and redevelopment. Our goal is to make cities better places to live and work. We do so by leveraging our resources and partnerships as well as tapping into financial commitments from banks and from local and state governments.

We believe that affordable housing can and should be about more than just housing. At Concord, we build communities that actually feel like home. We engage with residents and local partners to create places that nurture families and individuals to reach their potential.

Beyond Housing

We develop and redevelop world-class hotel and resort properties nationwide.  Our distinctive and authentic hotels and resorts celebrate the history and legacy of their destinations, integrating regional traditions, indigenous landscaping, sustainable practices and vernacular styles of architecture into each project.

State-of-the-art sustainable practices that create energy efficiency and environmentally cautious properties are part of our design process.

Since our first public-private partnership in 1983, we have partnered successfully with public and institutional clients to help them accomplish their real estate goals. From build-to-suit services on single buildings, to complex master planning and entitlement services for large  real estate assets, our expertise in all property types offers our clients a broad set of skills to add value to their project and deliver superior results.

We value the development of successful partnerships and working relationships with our public and institutional clients. It is these relationships that create outstanding projects that enhance the community.

Management

The nature of where, when, and how work gets done is always changing. It takes a special understanding of what makes offices work to keep commercial properties and the companies they support ready for what’s next. We believe better outcomes begin with better environments. That’s why Hospitality at Work, our workplace experience and property management platform, combines on-site building management with insightful community management to authentically connect people to the places they work. For us it’s nothing new.  This is hospitality at work.

 

As asset and property managers of hotel and resort properties through CoralTree Hospitality Group, customer service is second nature to us.  Lowe’s legacy of hospitality, dedication to customer service and respect for the value of relationships, developed over decades of hotel and resort management, is ingrained in our culture and naturally continues with CoralTree Hospitality. We take a different approach to travel by delivering distinctive, memorable experiences that celebrate the surroundings, community and culture of each individual property.  No two visits to our properties will be the same.

We bring dedication to warm, welcoming, exemplary service to all properties we manage.

Travel is good for the soul.

Hospitality at Work, a wholly-owned Lowe subsidiary is reinventing – and reinvigorating – commercial property management.  By fusing hospitality with meticulous management services, Hospitality at Work delivers performance and service beyond the expected.  Specially trained property management teams provide insightful community management to create a sense of belonging at each building we manage. Hospitality at Work brings hands-on transition teams, skilled building engineers, and dedicated property managers together to create places and customize programs that enable people to perform at their best every day.

Delightful workplaces don’t happen by accident — they happen by design. Our hospitality experts can turn a ho-hum lobby into a vibrant clubhouse. It can transform an under-used parking lot into a cheerful gathering spot. It can convert an ignored meeting area into a state-of-the-art conference room. Through careful design that incorporates local elements of the surrounding community, we set the stage for the office environment where tenants feel like they belong.

 

We bring life to the workplace

Our hotel and resort  management history dates to 1973 when we developed our first hospitality property and took on its operation.  That spirit of hospitality became embedded in our company culture as we grew, expanded and eventually sold that first hospitality management company.

We now mark a new chapter of hotel and resort operations with CoralTree Hospitality, led by veteran senior executives of Lowe and Destination Hotels who have built their hospitality careers with us.  Our management team brings to CoralTree Hospitality expert leadership, deep hospitality experience, and a commitment to the service, culture and values that define our company. Providing property management to hotels and resorts across the US and in Mexico, and asset management services to Lowe’s resort portfolio, CoralTree Hospitality is a return to our roots, with a spirit of individuality, a focus on each property’s attributes and surroundings and an emphasis on personalized, exceptional service.  As hotel owners and developers ourselves, we have a firsthand understanding of how to optimize the value of every hotel we manage.  We believe our job is to create engaging  environments and meaningful experiences that connect people and place.
