Investment Criteria

A Focused Investment Strategy

The John Buck Company looks for opportunities in supply-constrained, major U.S. markets with high barriers to entry, targeting 24/7 submarkets that cater to innovation, growth, and a high quality of life for local residents and tenants alike. We then develop Class-A product and acquire assets that can be repositioned or repurposed to attract core, institutional investors.

Vertically-Integrated Platform

The John Buck Company’s professionals include industry leaders in acquisitions, development and construction management, leasing, and property management. We have assembled an in-house team of experts that provide a breadth of complimentary experience and knowledge that generate efficiencies for our operating platform, which extend from the property level to the fund level.

Complex Project Expertise

We excel in developing and repositioning complex, urban projects faced with a variety of challenging constraints. From securing zoning entitlements and developing Class-A high-rises with a variety of uses to redeveloping and re-leasing existing assets, our team is well-positioned to overcome any challenge associated with an investment opportunity.

Alignment of Incentives

Our principals and key employees contribute equity in every investment to ensure the alignment of interests with our fund investors and provide financial incentive to outperform. Further, The John Buck Company has a long history of forming joint ventures with institutional capital partners involving significant JBC co-investment.
