Capital Commercial Investments, Inc. (CCI) is a real estate investment firm based in Austin, Texas, which specializes in locating and purchasing undervalued commercial investment properties throughout the United States.  Our core investment belief when we started CCI over 15 years ago was “Capital Preservation First, Profits Second”.  After more than 60 limited partnerships and the launch of our CCI Private Equity Funds, we remain unwavering in our commitment to this credo. 

The foundation of CCI is the strength of its “team” environment and careful adherence to developing a reputation of perseverance, respect, and integrity. Our diverse and experienced team excels at finding value across a broad spectrum of potential real estate investment opportunities, and realizing the greatest possible returns while minimizing risk.  While we continue to grow as a company, these values will remain the most important building blocks of our future success.  

The condition of real estate markets and different property types within the target markets are in a state of constant flux. CCI's strategy is designed to be flexible in order to capitalize on those changes. CCI focuses on buying in the early stages of an upward market swing. Texas real estate markets are in a transitional period as they recover from the over development of the late 90's. Attractively priced opportunities exist in stable first tier markets and strong secondary markets. CCI is capitalizing on the present opportunities in this transitional period by exploiting inefficiencies or dislocations in the marketplace. The most critical element of the CCI strategy is to purchase at the right time and at the right price.  The principals distinguish their performance by investing their own capital in each owned asset.

Previously purchased property types include office buildings, office condominiums, retail, apartment communities, mini-warehouses, industrial distribution and warehouse facilities, and land. These transactions include purchasing or developing of approximately 3 million square feet of real estate throughout the central and eastern portion of the country.

CCI endeavors to make high quality commercial real estate investments available to individual investors who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in ownership of larger commercial properties. The characteristics of the properties in which CCI seeks to invest have historically included under valued, mismanaged, and under capitalized properties. Upon purchasing target properties, CCI formulates and aggressively implements property specific leasing and management plans. This includes making value added capital improvements  where appropriate. 

CCI believes that value can be created in three ways: 

CCI uses low to moderate leverage when making investments in keeping with its primary goal of capital preservation. This is consistent with the philosophy that low debt provides low risk. In order to purchase a property with some degree of debt, the building's cash flow must more than sufficiently cover the debt service. Currently, CCI has a loan to estimated value of 65%, which will decrease as our portfolio value continues to rise. 

We are proud of the fact that not one of our investors have lost capital by investing with CCI and many of our investors deploy their money with us over and over again.  In fact, one client has participated with us in over 23 separate investments.  Since its inception, CCI has invested in suburban office buildings, multi family, land for development, and warehouse/manufacturing facilities, and has realized average returns in excess of 22%.
