Harwood Distressed Real Estate
Given the current financial and credit crisis Harwood International had established a team to focus on the representation of investors who own or desire to acquire distressed real estate and real estate loans. As investors and lenders begin to inherit and assume direct responsibility for large commercial real estate portfolios, they will be faced with the need to manage, lease, sell, and market real estate assets. In many cases, development and construction must be completed before an asset’s value can be realized upon a sale.
Harwood International has the ability to bring an experienced, business-oriented approach to analyzing the special issues arising from troubled real estate assets and to propose specific solutions to best address the needs. Our analysis of any investment opportunity is underpinned by rigorous and analytical focus on value. Our disciplined, value oriented approach will always serve investors well in the pursuit of investment opportunities.
Our strong financial foundation values the returns that long-term ownership and management give to an investment portfolio, while the ability to weather volatile economic conditions that may adversely affect real estate assets puts Harwood in a unique position to take advantage of buying opportunities. We offer deep market experience, knowledge, and presence, across a wide geography with our offices in the United States, UK, and Switzerland
