OUR BUSINESS

THE PLAN

Tandem Assets 1 LP was created to provide Canadians with the opportunity to participate in the time tested investment of commercial real estate which has proven to be a profitable, long term investment vehicle. We focus on acquiring existing, income producing niche size assets that are too large for individuals but too small for larger players - creating less competition, better pricing, and potentially stronger returns for investors.

The Tandem Management team will focus on sourcing and purchasing properties that are undervalued and/or undermanaged in markets located in municipal centres within North America. These properties must have a sufficient asset value to allow for profitable operations over a 5 year term, show promise for potential growth and be able to provide for continued financing of additional properties in the process.

By using building blocks of proper research, due diligence, and professional management, a superior real estate investment program can be developed.

Capitalizing on over 60 years of combined real estate investment experience provides the Tandem Management team with the foresight needed to evaluate and determine the next offering.

Better fit for the long view and relatively risk-averse tastes.

Private equity, real estate and infrastructure are a better fit for the long view and relatively risk-averse tastes of CPPIB. We believe that private equity assets can produce risk-weighted returns that will outperform public equities in the long run.”

“Tandem Assets 1 LP expects to ultimately hold a $25-30m dollar portfolio of income producing real estate assets for a select few investors. This is an ideal size for an offering as it allows management to focus closely on the assets it has under management and be flexible enough to acquire, sell or reposition assets in a changing marketplace.”

Why OMERS is changing gears from public to private market assets.

The principal reason it was done was to reduce our exposure to the volatility of the capital markets, especially public equity. The second reason was to acquire assets that would give us a predictable as possible long-term cash returns to fund the pension plan”.

• Triple Net Leases (NNN) SHORT TERM LENDING • Capitalize On Short Term Professional Lending Opportunities

- Michael Nobrega, President and CEO of OMERS (Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System)

Better fit for the long view and relatively risk-averse tastes.

Private equity, real estate and infrastructure are a better fit for the long view and relatively risk-averse tastes of CPPIB. We believe that private equity assets can produce risk-weighted returns that will outperform public equities in the long run.”
