About Us

JRE Capital acquires and manages cash-flowing, Core+ commercial real estate assets primarily in (but not limited to) the Southeastern US. We have owned, developed, and managed over 3 million square feet of real estate over the past 20 years, and have a current portfolio of around $150MM of assets under management. Being that we target Core+ assets, we do not take on a great deal of value-add risk on our acquisitions… But by “buying right” and managing property, we are still able to return disproportionately high yields to our investors. Typical cash flows to our investors are between 7% and 11% annually, and investor distributions are made monthly. JRE has a proven track record of success and is actively looking for new equity partners AND quality assets to continue our path of growth!

A Track Record You Can Trust

JREcapital-web-icons-mixedcolors_Knowledge

OUR KNOWLEDGE

JRE’s extensive experience in Commercial Real Estate spans 30+ years, with a total development portfolio of nearly $350,000,000 and 3,800,000 sf. Our knowledge of our markets (both locally and nationally) and extensive list of contacts throughout the entire commercial real estate industry give JRE an advantage that few have to execute on its acquisition strategy.

OUR TARGET MARKET

JRE is open to investing anywhere across the United States but primarily focuses on tertiary markets in the Southeastern US. Contrary to conventional wisdom, these markets provide tremendous value with surprisingly low risk. They also generally fly “under the radar” of institutional investors who prefer larger markets and are typically content with lower returns. This creates inefficiencies, as many of the major commercial properties in these markets are too large for a single local investor but too small for institutional capital to consider.  JRE seeks to capitalize on these inefficiencies, providing strong cash flow returns to its investors for unexpectedly low risk.  As a bonus, JRE’s target assets also provide strong diversification to those who may already be heavily invested in other real estate classes, such as Multifamily.

Our Target Property

While we can be opportunistic buyers for the right property, our primary focus is on grocery-anchored, neighborhood strip, and necessity-based retail in our target markets. Our target property has at least 50% national credit tenants that dominate their markets, on long-term leases. With very little competition and rents usually half of what new construction would demand, these assets have very sticky tenants that NEED to be in the market but can’t afford to go anywhere else. While others may target “sexier” investments in larger markets, we prefer to target workhorses like these.

Target Returns

JRE typically aims for cash flows of between 7 and 11% annually and distributes to investors monthly. These are disproportionately high returns for investments that essentially take on no value-add risk, and for investors that do not guarantee any debt. Hold times may vary based on the specific investment’s strategy, but are typically between 5 and 10 years.

YOUR GAIN

We know these markets well, already have strong relationships with many of these tenants, and are proactive with brokers and landlords to find new properties. Contact us to see how you can become an investor!

DONNIE JARREAU

PARTNER

Donnie has been behind some of Baton Rouge's most successful developments, with a portfolio of investments stretching from Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Pensacola, Florida. His passion for real estate and development is apparent, and those who work with Donnie enjoy the enthusiasm that has made him successful. In his nearly 25-year career, Donnie has developed and acquired over two million square feet of commercial, retail, office and multi-family property. Recognizing that every property, situation and client is different, Donnie sees that each new experience brings its own unique challenges, circumstances and advantages. When others skim the surface, he digs in. With creativity, dedication and diligent problem solving, Donnie is able to make his deals work. Many of his projects, like Southdowns Shopping Center, Perkins Road Hardware redevelopment, Drusilla Shopping Center, and Eastbank Shopping Center, have been diamond-in-the-rough properties that, once reenergized, have helped transform entire neighborhoods and streetscapes. Donnie has had several new development successes as well, including the 50,000 square-foot Perkins Palms mixed-use development and the 100-unit Elysian, a workforce housing complex designed to accommodate a wide array of mixed-income residents in Mid-City Baton Rouge. Over the past decade, Donnie has acquired over $170,000,000 in retail Shopping Centers through different partnership-structured syndications that encompass well over 1,000,000 square feet. Outside the office, Donnie is a valued community member who volunteers with a variety of local organizations. He served on the Board of the Baton Rouge Growth Coalition, is Board President of the Options Foundation (which provides housing and services to the mentally ill), and has been a committed mentor in the Kids Hope program for many years. Donnie also founded Everyone Plays Sports Foundation, a non-profit organization that donates sports equipment to local schools and addresses child obesity issues. Donnie is a lifelong Baton Rouge area resident, married to Barbara Parsons Jarreau and proud father to six children.
