Columbia Net Lease Ventures (CNLV) is a commercial real estate investment company specializing in the ownership and operation of net leased retail, logistics and medical facilities nationwide.
CPI through its affiliates and partners currently owns and operates a portfolio of over one hundred net leased assets in 29 states across the country. The assets are diverse in creditworthiness, geography and industry. We are active in both acquisitions and dispositions in order to keep our portfolio growing, maximizing gain and minimizing risk. Additionally, we are active in the servicing of 1031 “Like Kind Exchange” clients looking to replace relinquished assets with stable, diversified, long-term, net-leased income producing properties through tailored solutions.
In late 2016, CPI began to consolidate certain net leased assets into a single ownership structure. This allowed for a more efficient, lower cost of operations in addition to more attractive financing terms. The result is Columbia Net Lease Venture LLC (CNLV). CNLV is a fund of properties under one umbrella benefiting from lower operational costs, more attractive financing terms and a more focused asset management strategy. Following the success of CNLV, we decided to continue with the creation of Columbia Net Lease Venture II LLC as well as a fund focused on net leased medical office assets, CPI Medical Fund One LLC. In all, as of 2018 CPI is operating three funds and numerous individually owned assets with a combined asset value of approximately seven hundred million dollars.
