Asset Value
The Rodeo Region Advantage
The 14 state "Rodeo Region" where Bow River invests has come of age as an important emerging market for investment. Cities dotting the mountain and southwest states have shown disproportionate economic growth, and are typically under represented in property investment portfolios. With decades of experience and deep relationships in the Rodeo Region, Bow River’s Real Estate team is uniquely positioned to benefit from investment opportunities in this geographic area.
Targeting Opportunity
Our investment philosophy centers around three primary themes: a geographic focus in the Rodeo Region, light industrial and opportunistic residential.
Creating Value
Light Industrial
New and updated light industrial warehouses are needed throughout the Rodeo Region given the increasing demand for physical infrastructure to support e-commerce and B2B logistics. The warehouse system in the U.S. is dated: 30% of the existing warehouses in the U.S. are more than 50 years old and the average age of warehouse properties is 34 years.
Residential
In residential, we look at trends that impact senior housing, as well as single and multi-family homes. The U.S. population is aging, and an increasing number of Americans are retiring in the Rodeo Region. There is a need for newer senior housing options that provide the full continuum of care. As the Rodeo Region continues to attract residents due to its lifestyle and cost of living advantages, there is also a need for more single family and affordable multi-family homes.
Distressed Retail
Although we believe the e-commerce trend will continue, not all retail is created equal. It’s predicted that 80% of retail sales still occur in a physical store. In the aftermath of the pandemic, there is opportunity to find well located and attractively priced retail.

Investing in Qualified Opportunity Zones
Bow River has leveraged the team’s familiarity and experience investing in the Rodeo Region to create several Opportunity Zone Funds. The OZ Funds are intended to meet the tax planning and/or social impact needs of the firm’s investors.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 created Qualified Opportunity Zones to provide potential tax benefits to investors who re-invest capital gains into real estate projects in communities designated for economic development. Investing in a qualified opportunity fund enables investors with substantial capital gains tax liabilities from any prior investment to defer and substantially reduce that liability. Any future capital gains from the opportunity zone investment could be eliminated if the investment is held for 10 years. This solution is useful for investors who are interested in realizing capital gains in a tax-efficient manner and/or social impact investing through job creation.
