Prescient’s general investment strategy is to focus on properties with significant barriers to entry in markets that offer robust income streams, superior credit tenants, and the highest appreciation values regardless of commercial property type.  Moreover, Prescient primarily seeks investments along the West Coast and focuses on the Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and Southern California markets.

Using a rigorous investment research and analysis approach and demanding investment criteria, Prescient seeks properties in better planned markets that have strong absorption rates and substantial geographic and/or zoning barriers to development as those properties hold value better in down-cycles and appreciate more in up-cycles.  Moreover, recognizing the importance of macro- and microeconomic cycles in real estate, Prescient places a strong emphasis on incorporating cycle forecasting into in its investment decisions.

With it’s unique add-value capabilities, Prescient specializes in utilizing a value maximizing strategy that uses the Value Cycle (see below) as a framework.  As a result, Prescient actively seeks opportunities that employ its hands-on design and construction, analytical, financial, and negotiation skills.  Prescient's distinct and exceptional combination of skills uniquely position Prescient Venture Partners to maximize value through improved operations, better positioned properties, and reduced expenses.
