Company Strategy

Today, IGC’s profile consists of a sound combination of strategically located apartment communities in the mid-west. Currently employing over 80 people, and devoting significant resources to professional development and technological improvements, IGC is about realizing visions. Diligently, it follows a disciplined strategy for growth:

Acquiring choice properties at optimal times, always seeking opportunities to increase value, especially during the first years following the acquisition.

Structuring sound acquisitions, balancing debt and equity to optimize financing cost and risk-adjusted returns on investments.

Providing efficient management to optimize property values; adding amenities, modernizing operations and controlling costs which serve to provide above average returns.

Our Capital Partners

We devote scrupulous attention to nurturing the many relationships we have with capital partners – both investors and lenders – through conservative investment projections and ongoing, accurate and timely communications. An alliance with IGC yields predictable and duplicatable success.
