Value investing is the core of our business. Our acquisitions are driven by time tested value metrics including yield on cost, rate per square metre metrics and replacement cost. But buying well is only half the equation. We create value by drawing on our specialist market expertise to deliver capital works programs that enhance the income profile, and value, of our properties.
We never buy anything we wouldn’t want to own vacant. Our acquisitions begin with the fundamentals which drive the income producing potential of a building – location and built form. Particular focus is given to the building’s physical characteristics such as floorplate configuration, lighting, lobby design and building services. We then consider location drivers such as transport, amenity and competing stock.
Our value-add strategies are always informed by market dynamics. Our team stays deeply informed with evolving market conditions and opportunities via our extensive network of agents and consultants, as well as our own proprietary research and data.

These integral relationships are key to delivering our programs on-time and on-budget.

Founder & CEO
OPP typically offers close-ended property trusts with 5-10 year hold cycles. This structure closely approximates direct ownership of commercial property with a single, pre-defined capital requirement and a defined hold period before returning capital to our investors.
Our property trusts typically targets average annual distributions of 5-8% (depending on risk profile and strategy), and provided regular income by distributing free cashflow on a monthly basis.
OPP targets attractive equity IRRs across its core (7-8%), core-plus (9-11%) and value-add (11%+) strategies.
All our investments are made on conservative underwrite assumptions because we value our investors capital and delivering results that match or exceed our forecast returns.
