At Julian Kent We energize commercial real estate projects by designing and infusing innovative development stratagem for individual investors and small developer groups.
Analyze, Strategize, Realize!
Successful development projects start with ample amounts of research and market knowledge. Our toil reveals solutions that enable clients to circumnavigate financial and general economic risks. On your behalf we ferret out insights into your market’s regulatory protocols and rules. We augment existing epistemology with the latest best-in-class, approaches and theories gaining popularity in the real estate industry. As your research adjuncts, we investigate market intricacies and logical implications. Drawing on statistics and reports compiled/published by private reporters and government agencies, our team members conduct meticulous data research. Our participation in your deal organizes the noise and simplifies the stochastic threats inherent at different phases of the development process
Our commitment prevents us from just dumping our discoveries at your feet and disappearing. We apply our findings to advise and improve your mission, its methodology, timing, assumptions, projections and calculus. JKDS utilizes the most sophisticated financial models to subject collected project metrics to rigorous analysis. Our ‘quant’ Analysts determine each project’s sensitivity to price, timing, size, cost of capital and other inputs and assumptions to calculate the development’s optimal risk/reward balance. We stay laser-focused on implanting unparalleled agility into our clients’ deals by creating backup plans and superior exit strategies. By the end of your project we will have assembled all our research, correspondence and conference notes, thereby creating a library of the intellectual elements contributing to realization of your project.
JKDS and its network of experts author intelligent Investment Memoranda and development business plans. Our analytical models inform and justify every expression in the strategy document – not the other way around — thereby increasing their utility for raising capital. We produce creative presentation and other ‘pitch’ materials including easy-to-comprehend charts, sketches, graphs, tables and photos that seamlessly communicate return rates, valuation/profit projections and equity multiples. The waterfall spreadsheets we deliver accurately spotlight individual shares and enable pristine distributions and related accounting.
JKDS members include former attorneys, real estate brokers and educators on real property subjects including public/private partnerships and negotiation principles, ethics and skills. The entire JKDS team is comfortable collaborating with any legal, architectural, construction or lending or investment entity you designate.
Over a long period of trial-and-error, JKDS has cultivated a reliable list of hand-selected contractors, handypersons and repairers. We distinguish our property management and boutique rental operations services by emphasizing maintenance and property value preservation over revenue collection skills. It doesn’t matter whether we are managing a major capital expenditure task, or supervising a routine damage repair/renovation job, we at JKDS prioritizes order, proper functioning and aesthetics. Periodically we offer free seminars that review essential facility systems including water and sewer, electrical, HVAC and security. This initiative and other interactions motivate our resident population to behave harmoniously with their built environment, mitigating risk and waste as much as possible.
We offer rental operations management services to foreigners who own home(s) i in our tropical developments (see Portfolio at [imoya.com]) as an investment property.
In Manhattan, where our offices are located, median rents for a 2 bedroom apartment have grown past $4,000 monthly as of the first quarter of 2025. Similarly, as of early 2025, unprecedent inventory scarcity has driven the median home price in Manhattan up to around $1.3 million.
Due to the severely limited supply of suitable accommodations in the NYC metropolis, we concentrate primarily on representation of Buyers/Tenants. During interviews with potential purchasers and lessees, we ensure that they fully comprehend realities of the market. If buyers/tenants so choose, they can engage us as their exclusive agent to identify, negotiate and secure adequate accommodations. Using unconventional methods and aggressive negotiating skills, we pursue off-market and unlisted properties. We surf the REO, tax lien and foreclosure auction spaces. We initiate purchase offers, manage bargaining and press relentlessly to win a closing for our clients.
We refer prospectives interested in Caribbean and other overseas investment properties (some of which qualify for Citizenship By Investment), to purchase and short term rental opportunities. Follow the link to www.magmabliss.com to view the entire portfolio of available properties.
