Our Services

How we create value

Development

At Knerem Group, our development approach centers on creating high-quality communities driven by market insight, thoughtful design, and disciplined execution. We manage the full development process, from site selection and conceptual planning to entitlements, budgeting, and construction oversight. Our team focuses on maximizing land potential through efficient site planning, amenity programming, and product design that meets market demand. By coordinating architects, engineers, contractors, and capital partners, we ensure each project progresses efficiently, aligns with financial targets, and delivers long-term value for residents and investors.

Acquisitions

At Knerem Group, our acquisitions strategy focuses on identifying and securing existing properties and land with strong value creation potential. We target value-add opportunities such as below-market rents, low occupancy, deferred maintenance, and assets that benefit from capital improvements or increased density. On the land side, we pursue well-located sites with utility availability, strong access and visibility, and favorable zoning or rezoning potential. Our approach combines disciplined underwriting with strategic vision to acquire assets positioned for meaningful long-term upside.

advisory

At Knerem Group, we provide real estate development advisory and owner’s representation services for investors, multifamily developers, and property owners. Our work focuses on reducing risk, improving project economics, and maximizing NOI from concept through stabilization. We offer market analysis and feasibility studies, entitlement and zoning guidance, and site plan and unit mix optimization to strengthen project outcomes. Our services include detailed financial modeling and underwriting, capital stack structuring, strategic debt and equity solutions, and owner representation throughout design, construction, and lease-up. We also provide asset repositioning and NOI optimization strategies that enhance long-term value.
