Office

IRA has a strong track of acquiring well-located, class-A office real estate in primary markets throughout the US. IRA has found success by forming long-term partnerships with large credit tenants to execute sale-leaseback structures for numerous headquarter facilities. IRA has also been successful in repositioning under-leased office assets by enhancing spaces, creating floor plans that foster creativity and collaboration, and adding amenities such as fitness centers, on-site cafes, and other perks that not only attract higher-quality tenants, but also help stabilize the tenant base by helping tenants increase employee retention and recruitment.
