Cadre Successfully Delivers 40%+ Net Returns Through Sale of Two Assets; Doubles Investor Money in Less than Two Years ¹

Recent Sales of Marquee Assets in Cadre Direct Access Fund Highlight Benefit of Private Real Estate Amid Market Volatility

NEW YORK, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadre, the leading technology-driven real estate investment platform, today announced the successful sale of two assets in Phoenix, AZ and the greater Washington, DC area. These are Cadre's first sales in the Cadre Direct Access Fund which was launched in 2020, and represent Cadre's tenth and eleventh successful sales since Cadre's founding. Amid the public markets whipsaw and inflationary environment, Cadre's two recent private real estate sales are expected to generate 67.3% and 40.2% net returns to its customers, further demonstrating Cadre's market-leading position and the value of private real estate ownership in building a well-balanced investment portfolio.

Private real estate is often recognized for historically high risk-adjusted returns, especially during volatile periods in the stock market.² During recent market drawdowns like the Great Recession and Dot-com bubble, stocks –- represented by the S&P 500 index — lost an average of ~36% in value.³ Meanwhile, private real estate delivered over those periods an average of approximately 31.86% returns, as represented by the NAREIT index.⁴  According to a Cadre study on asset allocation, adding real estate to a traditional stock and bond portfolio can help reduce volatility by roughly 15%, largely driven by the low correlation of private real estate to public markets and the asset class's attractive risk/return profile.

Cadre now has delivered an average net IRR of ~28% to its clients following eleven total deal exits, including two property sales earlier this year.⁵ In total, the firm has returned more than $340 million in aggregate capital  to investors to date.⁶ Cadre has now eclipsed more than $5 billion in total transaction volume and continues to advance its efforts to improve more individuals' financial futures by generating outsized returns from institutional-quality investments.

These two sales validate Cadre's execution of the Cadre Direct Access Fund investment strategy, a fund that enabled institutions and individuals to invest alongside each other. The sale of 10 West Commerce, a 860,000-square-foot industrial development in Phoenix, AZ is expected to achieve an 67.3% net IRR and 2.1x net multiple. Partnering with Creation Equity, Cadre purchased the property in 2021 amid massive growth and rising industrial value in the Phoenix area. Phoenix's low cost and high quality of living has driven population growth that is nearly triple the national pace, and jobs growth that is more than double the national average.⁷ Within the industrial sector, Phoenix offers a ~40% discount to industrial rents in Los Angeles and Orange County, California.⁸ Phoenix's Southwest industrial submarket is home to major blue chip industrial tenants drawn to the Foreign Trade Zone status, deep labor pool, convenient access to major interstates, and proximity to major ports in California.

Separately, Cadre's sale of Key West Crossings, a 284,000-square-foot life science office asset in Rockville, MD is expected to achieve an ~40.2% net IRR and 1.8x net multiple on invested capital for investors. In partnership with Beckham Gumbin Ventures, Cadre purchased the property in 2020, in part due to its position at the heart of the I-270 Corridor, a thriving life science cluster also known in the industry as DNA Alley that serves as home to leading research institutions such as the NIH, Department of Health, and National Cancer Institute. Cadre purchased the property at a 45% discount to replacement cost and set forward a business plan to complete the space's conversion needed to properly support life science tenants.

"Through our most recent successful property sales, we have contributed to positive financial outcomes for all of our investors. We are proud to have doubled our investor's money in less than two years and provided outsized returns at a time of extreme market volatility. As our platform reaches even more individuals, we aim to continue leveling the playing field by giving individuals the same access to quality, compelling real estate deals as institutions," said Ryan Williams, Cadre Founder, Executive Chairman, and Co-Chairman of Cadre's Investment Committee. "Now more than ever, we are reassured in our belief that private real estate is a valuable addition to investment portfolios, especially those looking to arm themselves against the risks of a volatile environment today and in future years. By identifying strong assets within high-growth markets, we have developed a consistent formula for uncovering opportunity – even when public markets face headwinds."

Equity multiple represents the investment multiple on equity, which is calculated by dividing the aggregate realized proceeds for the applicable investment after deduction of fees and expenses.
