Strategy and transaction advisory.
We advise select clients on acquisitions, dispositions, and repositioning strategies. Below are two recent engagements — the strategy applied and the outcome.
Miami Waterfront Development Site
Situation
Habitus advised the client on the acquisition of a waterfront development site in Miami in 2017. The site's zoning was extremely limited, but the potential was enormous.
Strategy
Over several years, we worked directly with local politicians and government officials to rezone the site for a large mixed-use project totaling over 1,000,000 gross square feet — a marina, a 273-key hotel, 345 luxury residential units, and retail. Once entitled, the value increased threefold. Instead of developing, Habitus advised its client to leverage market dynamics and sell the newly entitled site.
Outcome
The sale closed in 2023, generating a strong return for the client.
Bulk Condo Acquisition — Toronto, Montréal & Vancouver
Situation
Habitus saw an opportunity to acquire bulk condo inventory at steep discounts in core Canadian markets and aligned capital to deploy, one project at a time.
Strategy
We are currently sourcing and executing bulk condo acquisitions on behalf of clients in the core of Canada's top urban markets. The strategy is to generate positive cash flow through long-term rental programs and aim to sell the inventory as the markets improve in 3 to 5 years' time.
Outcome
An active, ongoing mandate. We have driven more than 150 individual condo sales for clients in the first six months of 2026 alone.
We have deep relationships and access to opportunities in major markets globally.
