Investment Strategy & Investment Platforms

Somera forms investment capital on a deal-by-deal basis. This strategy allows Somera flexibility to execute individualized business plans to address varying market conditions and partnership strategies.

Somera Capital Management employs three main investment platforms.

  • Somera’s core business is joint venture equity with a goal to develop long-term relationships with operating partners to execute multiple transactions over time. Somera seeks qualified and trusted operating partners with specific asset class expertise and deep market knowledge.

  • Primarily oriented for development projects, Somera provides a unique component of the capital stack that offers an owner/operator the ability to execute a business plan and secure complete ownership of an asset after delivering a fixed total return on invested capital.

  • Primarily driven by asset type and geographic location, Somera has the experience and ability to acquire an asset without an operating partner if that is the best execution to maximize value.

Diversified Asset Class Portfolio

Somera’s track record includes investments across a wide spectrum of real estate asset classes including Hospitality, Retail, Office, Multi-family, and specialty assets (i.e., marinas, self-storage). The primary focus will always be on generating cash flow and value while conscientiously preserving our investors’ capital with a risk-averse approach.

When appropriate, Somera will joint venture with qualified sponsors that offer an accretive partnership in asset classes or markets outside of our specific expertise.

Targeted Asset Fundamentals

At Somera, our strategy is often centered on mid-market equity investments. We target investment profiles that avoid competition from large institutions while focusing on high barrier-to-entry markets.

Cross-Sector Neutrality

Somera’s dynamic investment approach offers opportunities in any market cycle by deploying capital through various structures and diverse asset classes and geographies. We source investments when we are confident we can deliver outsized returns to our investors while mitigating risk. Evolving market conditions offer varying opportunities, and Somera seeks to capitalize on the ever-changing landscape of real estate investment.
