Core-plus investments typically feature which attribute?

Core-plus investments typically feature which attribute?

• A. 50% leased multi-tenant property
• B. A high-quality, stabilized property with some value-add through minor improvements
• C. New development with construction risk
• D. Distressed asset with liquidation risk

Answer: (B)

Core-plus investing blends solid, stable income with a modest opportunity to lift returns through light value-add work. The property is already high quality and cash-flowing, with occupancy and tenants that make the income stream predictable, but there’s elbow room to enhance value through small improvements—like cosmetic upgrades, leasing enhancements, or efficiency fixes—rather than large-scale redevelopment. That matches a high-quality, stabilized property plus minor improvements to push NOI higher. The other scenarios involve either too little stability (low occupancy or weak income), development risk (new construction), or distress/liquidation risk (distressed assets), which are not characteristic of core-plus.
