PlaceKickR's Mission
PlaceKickR Properties is a boutique real estate investment and development group focused on reimagined residential rentals.
PlaceKickR creates financial incentives and business models that encourage community placemaking investment in Canadian and global real estate.
By way of multiple joint ventures with Canadian-based DPSE Canada Export-Import Limited, facilitated by its capital partner German-based DPSE Business Export-Import e.K., and through DPSE PlaceKickR Opportunity Fund, PlaceKickR focuses on opportunistic, value-add equity investments in residential and mixed-use commercial projects where equity + debt finance equal low leverage, that build-up cash flows during the investment term and offer capital gains opportunities at exit.
