Provident Realty's Strategy in a down market

During the past ten years, in addition to its new development projects, PRA has utilized a staff of employees, highly experienced in redevelopment and asset management skills, to successfully implement an alternative program to acquire and re-position a substantial number of underperforming/distressed assets.  In each case, PRA first completed its due diligence studies to determine the specific requirements for a successful re-positioning strategy.  These included:  rezoning, demolition and redevelopment into alternative uses, etc.  The following are examples of several of these projects:

  1. Westwood Mall:  Houston, Texas – A regional mall converted into 500,000 s.f. of office and technological floor area.
  2. Web @ LBJ:  Dallas, Texas – A regional mall converted into over 300,000 s.f. of mixed use fiber optic floor area; as well as other adjacent retail and restaurant uses.
