INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

• Individual Mandate
  We develop the investment strategy jointly with an investor, acquire corresponding properties, and manage them. Sales decisions can be made at any time so that the liquidity of the investment is assured.
• Fund Concept
  If institutional investors at a specific time are interested in investing in a specific market segment, then we develop the fitting and regulated fund concept and implement it.
• Club Deal
  When we find an interesting investment opportunity that does not fit into an ongoing mandate or current fund, then we offer this to a small group of investors for group investment.
• Development Management Agreement
  The Development Management mode responds to the needs of some customers, frequently companies whose core business is not the real estate, to delegate the functions and responsibilities of the promoter to a specialized agent. Our services, in this case, are an extension of the Project and Construction Management, taking responsibility for all aspects of Real Estate Development.

After all, our top priority is client, operator and users satisfaction, which means we’re committed to developing and constructing high-quality spaces that are built in compliance with the plans and specifications and are free of defects. Doing so not only maintains users happiness and loyalty but also satisfies our valued equity partners and lenders.

Exceeding Expectations

Our goal on every project is not limited to on time and on budget delivery; we are committed to exceeding our clients’ expectations. We add genuine value to projects by leveraging our experience and knowledge from our talented team. On each project, we appoint dedicated team leaders who think like owners, champion the project and guide its progress.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & CONSTRUCTION

Our construction services are designed to protect the interests of our client, eliminating the usual conflicts between parts of a project, reducing costs and ensuring deadlines and obtaining excellent results in the execution of their building projects.
Getting a project is completed on time and the estimated budget, without unexpected surprised, as was initially conceived by the property and with the best quality is our main objective, whatever our level of participation in the project is.

Development Management

Kaizen’s Development Management team offers a comprehensive service that spans the entire development process, from auditing properties and devising development strategies, through to the delivery and sale/lease of a completed project.

The fully-integrated team maintains a close and continuous working relationship with clients at every stage of the process, ensuring their involvement in all key core decisions. It provides strategic advice and solutions that deliver the optimum sales and leasing strategy in order to maximize profits.

The Development Management mode responds to the needs of some customers, frequently companies whose core business is not the real estate, to delegate the functions and responsibilities of the promoter to a specialized agent.

Our services, in this case, are an extension of the Project and Construction Management, taking responsibility for all aspects of Real Estate Development.

• Manage the delivery of the final design.
• Stakeholder engagement and contractor procurement.
• Programme the works.
• Manage and incorporate tenant requirements in design and delivery.
• Control, manage and review costs on an ongoing basis.
• Engage in value engineering exercises for shell and core and tenant works.
• Control and manage quality and environment.
• Control and manage safety.
• Manage all site activities and coordinate interfaces between specialist sub-contractors.
• Commission building systems.
• Deliver the project in accordance with our time, budget and quality obligations.

Project Management

Project management gives Kaizen the maximum opportunity to positively influence the outcome of a client’s project by injecting our experience and knowledge at the earliest planning stages.

The earlier we are involved in the major decisions that shape a project, the more we can contribute to cost, time and quality factors during the construction programme. Usually, we become an extension of the client’s organization for the purpose of directing a project.

• Construction and project management.
• Project development (new developments, extensions and refurbishment works).
• Vertical construction.
• Infrastructure improvements.
• Drawing on construction financing.
• Arranging permanent financing (if not done during pre-development).
• Arranging for property manager (if not done during pre-development).

Management Contracting

The management contracting process of project development and contracting is identical to the Construction Management option.

The main difference is that the third parties contracts are signed between them and Kaizen, who, at the same time, signs a contract for execution of works with the client, assuming all legal responsibilities.

Design and Build

The design-build approach brings Kaizen on board before the design starts. We enter into a lump sum contract by negotiation or on a two-stage basis, accepting responsibility both for design and construction.

We, therefore provide a single point of contact for the client, thereby improving the speed and efficiency of delivery.

• Time Planning.
• Risk assessment and control.
