Property Management/Reporting

Our philosophy is to develop business plans for each of the assets we manage and empower key professionals to execute those plans to the highest level, consistent with investors’ financial goals and tenant requirements. With its experience serving the operating and reporting requirements of a publicly-traded real estate company, an institutional investment bank and individual investors, the senior management team understands the systems and procedures required to satisfy owners.

Investor Relations

Our approach is continual communication and absolute transparency when it comes to investor relations. Senior management currently oversees a pool of over 500 investors and provides each investor with complete access to its various resources. Direct Invest's Investor Relations department strives to maintain the highest degree of transparency between the operation of the building and the ownership group. Quarterly conference calls between investors and key senior management personnel are held for every asset and are open to every investor and/or their representative. Additionally, Direct Invest's Investor Relations group as well as key senior management personnel are available to investors at any time, 24/7.
