Company Profile

Investments Limited is one of the country’s premier real estate investment, ownership, development, operations, management, and leasing organizations. It owns a geographically diversified portfolio of commercial properties as well as residential communities.

Privately owned and operated from its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida with a satellite office in Boston, Massachusetts, the company took its more than three decades of real estate expertise, experience, tenacity, financial strength, keen foresight, and commitment to new heights in 2002, laying a sound foundation for significant growth during the next 30 years.

"The creation of quality shopping destinations and places in which to live and work throughout South Florida have become synonymous with Investments Limited and the Batmasian legacy."

Self-managed and steadfast in achieving excellence in all aspects of the commercial and residential real estate industry, Investments Limited continues to raise the bar on tenant satisfaction, innovative and flexible leasing programs, property-management efficiency, geographical focus, and redevelopment strategies in order to achieve record revenue growth and profit returns.

Founded in 1970, Investments Limited has grown steadily through the years. Rather than developing new properties, Investments Limited typically purchases existing properties that have the potential to appreciate immediately with the application of improved management and marketing procedures.

Investments Limited continues to show how a successful company — a company successful on every level — really works. It is an achievement based on a combination of boundless entrepreneurial spirit, a solid and proven business-growth philosophy, the strength of closely held management, the advantages of low debt to-value ratios, and a serious commitment to its tenants, employees and the community.

OUR RECORD OF SUCCESS:

For more than 30 years, Investments Limited has enjoyed consistent growth in its chosen markets. By providing quality services to residential and commercial tenants, assembling a team of talented and ambitious professionals, and dedicating ourselves to a consistent and proven management style, we at Investments Limited have developed a business philosophy that consistently sets us apart from our competitors:

Apartments offer predictable income streams.
Demographics dictate demand. Unique locations provide stable appreciation patterns not affected by unexpected economic downturns.

We own and operate retail centers that will always remainappealing to neighborhoods otherwise affected by the changes in technology.
Further, our strong presence in choice areas has enabled us to control development patterns.

"In addition to providing people with wonderful places in which to live and raise their families, we offer our tenants a flexibility that is unparalleled in the industry. They can stay for a month or terminate a lease if they want to buy. We even allow them to use the amenities at all of our other properties — for example, a boat dock, tennis courts, or clubhouse."

Our size (Investments Limited owns and manages 2,365 apartments) allows us to reduce operating costs.For example, the acquisition of various multifamily properties in a single area allows us demographic superiority.

Apartments have a more predictable value than do most businesses and most other real estate asset classes, including office buildings and commercial centers.

A heavy concentration in older, established neighborhoods where the potential of new construction is prohibitive. The ownership of contiguous parcels enables us to create new economic trends and influence the demographic environment
defying uncontrollable and unstable effects.

Operations remain local. Florida, Massachusetts, and North Carolina each have unique needs.
Specialized, hands-on staff — responsible — for each locale, are able to respond quickly and efficiently to matters needing attention.

Quality of properties comes first.
We have created a reserve budget for capital replacements and repair. Carpets, appliances, upgrades, roof replacements, exterior painting, and improved landscaping are handled in a timely fashion. In developing or expanding a property, we capitalize our costs, including any allocated interest expenses, as a part of the cost of the property.

Profitability flows with the business cycle.
High fixed costs create risk in economic downturns. We keep a cash cushion and significant credit lines to absorb fluctuations in the marketplace, as well as to fund new investments and development.

Leverage magnifies financial return.
Generally, we use debt that is long-term, fixed-rate, and self amortizing, as well as revolving lines of credit. We limit overall debt leverage so that cash flow is at least equal to three times interest expense. This approach provides us with:

• an appropriate balance between risk and return, and
• a strong cash position to capture and re-invest in new, prime incoming-generating property opportunities that arise in the   marketplace.

Investments Limited’s Strategic Vision Becomes the Jewel in the Crown of Downtown Boca Raton… The "New" Royal Palm Place, the most exciting, mix-use development in South Florida, will soon become a two-million-square-foot addition to Investments Limited’s landmark Royal Palm Plaza. The existing Plaza, Boca’s oldest upscale mall, is a unique, 14-acre destination. Winding stone paths with blooming bougainvillea and trickling water fountains framed in rare terra cotta tiles lead the way to the front doors of some of the finest dining and shopping found anywhere.

“ Because there is a new surging interest in ‘coming back’ to the city — in a sort of a reverse migration from the suburbs — we have recognized the need for and are helping to create a vibrant urban environment for downtown Boca Raton that exudes a warm and welcoming sense of community and place."

The $65 million addition, Royal Palm Place, will seamlessly combine the elegance and timeless charm of the original Mizner-influenced Plaza with the luxurious amenities required for today’s ultimate South Florida urban experience. Royal Palm Place will bring to East Boca, not simply a place to work and play, but rather a totally new lifestyle.

The first phase of Royal Palm Place will be a nine-story plus penthouse development consisting of 169 luxury rental units and 38,000 square feet of Class A office space, anchored by 28,000 square feet of retail space that will feature a prime collection of purveyors of high-end retail goods and services, vibrant restaurants and entertainment, and a garage parking structure for approximately 450 cars. A 250-room boutique hotel, more retail space directly on the Promenade, and townhouse lofts are being planned for phases two and three. A large area atop the lushly landscaped parking deck includes a heated swimming pool, great lawn, clubhouse and paved walking area. Adjacent to this, will be an athletic club featuring state-of-the-art fitness facilities and services.

The Plaza’s main boulevard — Royal Palm Promenade — will serve as an inviting link between Mizner Park’s Plaza Real, Palmetto Place and existing downtown restaurants and retailers, providing a quaint sense of community while making the entire area a viable, competitive business center. Royal Palm Place will launch a Renaissance in Downtown, setting a new standard of infinite possibilities born of imagination and experience. Investments Limited is combining old with new, history with legacy. Because of Investments Limited’s foresight and real estate acumen, we will never see Boca Raton or Royal Palm Plaza the same way again. Visitors, merchants, residents and office tenants of Royal Palm Place will have the best of everything at their fingertips in this extraordinary venue.
