Product: Multi-Employer Property Trust
Multi-Employer Property Trust (MEPT) (www.mept.com),
an open-end, commingled real estate equity fund with over
$7 billion in net assets, invests in a diversified portfolio
of commercial real estate assets by acquiring institutional-quality
properties and developing 100 percent union-built new construction
buildings. MEPT is organized as a bank collective investment
trust, which is maintained by NewTower Trust Company (NewTower).
There are more than 330 multi-employer, public employee and
corporate pension plan investors that own 100% of the units
of MEPT. MEPT has a 25-year track record that makes it one
of the largest open end real estate equity funds in the U.S.
MEPT was formed in 1982, through
a joint initiative between Kennedy Real Estate Associates,
LP (Kennedy) and LBC. Today, MEPT is managed by three entities:
Kennedy, of Seattle, Washington, serves as the real estate
investment advisor; LBC provides investor relations and marketing
services to MEPT; and NewTower, of Bethesda, Maryland, serves
as the trustee and fiduciary of the Fund.
MEPT's primary investment
strategy is to create institutional investment-quality, core,
income-producing assets through development, redevelopment,
or acquisition and repositioning of undervalued assets. The
Fund invests in office buildings, warehouses, flex/research
and development facilities, retail centers, apartment complexes,
and hotels in order to maintain a diversified, institutional-grade
"core" portfolio.
