ABOUT
Lotus Equity Partners Inc.
LOTUS EQUITY PARTNERS, INC., founded in 2007, is an innovative, privately held commercial real estate group that specializes in the acquisition, improvement, re-positioning, development and management of our investment properties. Rik Magon, Amit Tak and Sandeep Magon are the co-founders and principals of Lotus Equity Partners, bringing over three decades of experience in commercial and residential real estate development and management. We pride ourselves in aligning with the best engineers, architects and builders in the local markets to form incredibly dynamic teams that execute and realize our vision for each project. Lotus Equity has developed a focused methodology in re-developing commercial real estate properties. With a heavy emphasis on data analysis and financial modelling, we have developed a unique approach identifying commercial properties that have untapped capital upside due to tenant vacancies, cap rate compression opportunities, and/or potential for growth via further expansion of the property or development of the raw land. By staying true to these principles when identifying opportunities, Lotus Equity has successfully executed its projects and continues to deliver excellent value to its partners. Depending on the type and pro forma of each project, Lotus has a deep pool of capital partners with whom they work with to source equity. Our portfolio focuses on retail shopping centers, multifamily and mixed-use developments in class A & B locations.
