Marinas, Marine Properties and Marine Businesses are distinct asset classes for which we have trademarked as Business Developed Commercial Real Estate (BdCRE™) or Special Purpose Commercial Real Estate (SpCRE™). These asset classes have distinct risk and return characteristics which require a specialist understanding. Increasingly, we are seeing international and professional investors as potential acquirers of marinas and related properties as they are seeking attractive “safe haven” investments that can be actively or passively managed.

Marinas Businesses often provide a product or service that requires the ownership or control of specific commercial real estate, often with water access that is integral to the success of the business. Increasingly, we are seeing a convergence between large marine business operators and the marina consolidators as they compete for ownership and control of properties with deep water access and high demand service capabilities.
