Overview

Griffin Capital offers a family of real estate investment programs designed to meet investors needs for current income, capital preservation, capital appreciation, and portfolio diversification for a wide range of investors. These investment programs are managed by a seasoned team of commercial real estate professionals.

These programs represent one or more of these strategies:

Real Estate Investment Trust

The GC Net Lease REIT, Inc.

Co-Ownership Real Estate (“CORE”)

Griffin Capital Corporation has sponsored numerous undivided co-ownership real estate investment interests also know as tenant-in-common interests and Delaware Statutory Trusts in institutional quality office, industrial distribution and warehouse and/or other commercial properties. We will seek to identify, acquire and offer interests in properties that may allow purchases to: (i) defer capital gain taxes to preserve their capital investment; (ii) receive periodic cash distributions; and (iii) realize capital appreciation through the eventual sale or refinancing of the Property.

Griffin Capital offers replacement properties for persons participating in a 1031 tax-deferred exchange, as well as investors without a property to exchange who are seeking a quality real estate investment. We advocate and practice a conservative, analytical investment philosophy. The properties are all professionally managed which relieves the individual exchange investor from the burdens and responsibility of property management.
