Houston Bisnow: Funds Coming Back?

Tuesday’s edition of Bisnow Houston featured Clay & Co’s Timothy K. Clay, Amy Silvey, and Kevin Dalrymple discussing our Investment division. See the article below:

ClayCoTeam

Clay & Co recently created a $25M investment partnership, with plans to buy $64M worth of assets in the Texas Triangle. It’s the first fund created by the Houston-based firm best known for holding large, multi-property auctions. We snapped president Tim Clay between Kevin Dalrymple and Amy Silvey, who tell us they’re forming the “Texas Triple Net Real Estate Partnership” to acquire income-producing properties that are triple-net leased to strong credit tenants. Other requirements: Location is important (as is location and location); all assets must be single-tenant with at least a five-year remaining lease term; and returns must be double-digit. Tim would like an even spread between office, retail, and industrial properties, but is seeing more opportunities in the industrial sector.

ClaycoTotalSafety

Tim tells us Clay’s launching the fund now to capitalize on ideal interest and cap rates. Plus, it can get leverage returns of 13% or higher (its last purchase brought in 16%). Tim says he plans to hold the properties for five to seven years. Clay’s most recent buy was the Water and Power Technologies’ 20k SF warehouse (pictured). Tim says the facility has 10k SF of expansion capabilities, and he liked the lease (10 years), location (near the port), and tenant’s industry (water purification). Clay has contracts out for its first fund purchases.
