Our investment approach
We identify themes and opportunities and capitalize on them while staying true to our investment philosophy.
Basis
We maintain an unwavering focus on underlying fundamental value when evaluating market opportunities. This reduces risk, protects capital, and increases returns.
Proactive
We have a bias for action and apply an active hands-on asset management approach to what we do. This means being decisive, acting with urgency, delivering excellence, and innovating every time.
Perspective
We go where others are not. We are thematic investors and focus on key economic drivers and underlying fundamentals to select the opportunities we pursue.
Our Business
Slate’s Investment Platform
Our investment platform is centered around four pillars with thematic strategies spanning the risk spectrum from core-plus to opportunistic.
Opportunistic & Value Add
Core Plus & Income
Development
We invest in underperforming or overlooked essential real estate across North America and Europe, executing a focused buy-fix-sell strategy. By acquiring assets at an attractive basis and executing hands-on, value-add initiatives – including strategic repositioning, lease-up programs, and targeted capital improvements – we seek to enhance operational performance, drive cash flow growth, and position assets for attractive exits.
Private
Our Core-Plus strategies target high-quality, income-producing essential real estate in North America and Europe, focusing on grocery-anchored retail, healthcare, and logistics assets that meet the everyday needs of communities. These Core and Core-Plus investments deliver durable cash flow, with minimal operational disruption and are positioned for long-term value creation. Through proactive, hands-on management, we seek to extend lease terms, drive rent growth, and preserve the lasting quality and performance of each asset.
Public
We manage one publicly listed investment vehicle on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) that owns and operates U.S. grocery-anchored real estate.
Our in-house development team has a history of global development deals and works across all asset classes. Our capabilities span the entire spectrum of residential and commercial development, including ground-up and repositioning opportunities. We invest in key urban markets with consistent and expected growth, and we target transit-oriented infill sites and complex land assemblies.
