Below are a few points of emphasis within Ascentris:• ‘Cradle to Grave’ Staffing Structure: Rather than focusing on one stage of an investment life cycle, each Ascentris team works on an investment from acquisition to disposition, also known as ‘cradle to grave.’ This structure enables accountability, operational efficiencies, and breadth of experience. Summer analysts will have the opportunity to work on acquisitions, asset management, and dispositions of all property types. • Broad Exposure to Property Types, Geographic Regions, and Investment Strategies: Ascentris invests in office, industrial, multifamily, and retail acquisitions and developments in the top 20 markets in the U.S. While Ascentris’ portfolio consists primarily of value-add investments, the firm analyzes investments ranging from core plus to opportunistic risk profiles. Summer analysts will have the opportunity to work across asset classes, geographies, and investment strategies, gaining broad exposure to the U.S. commercial real estate market.• Collaborative Investment Team: Ascentris believes in an ‘open door’ collaborative work environment with dynamic teams and varied backgrounds. Investments each have dedicated teams; however, no two investments are staffed the same. Summer analysts will gain exposure to everyone at Ascentris from the analysts to senior management, allowing for the opportunity to learn from the collective experiences of the investment team.• Mentorship and Professional Development: Ascentris prioritizes mentorship and professional growth. In addition to learning technical real estate investment skills, summer analysts will get the opportunity to develop professional, presentation, and critical thinking skills via research assignments, mock investment committees, and day-to-day investment analysis.
