INVESTMENT STRATEGY
American Timberlands Company's investment strategy is a process that includes locating land acquisitions, identifying existing value components, developing a disposition strategy unique to each acquisition, and the execution of that strategy to yield the highest possible return.
ATC locates land acquisition opportunities through intimate knowledge of private and institutional land ownerships throughout the United States. We also maintain an extensive network of third party participants that identify potential land acquisitions. This provides American Timberlands Company the ability to identify and make value based land acquisitions outside the traditional real estate industry.
The process of identifying value components begins with on-site reconnaissance conducted by American Timberlands Company principals and personnel on each individual parcel. Subsequently, each component, is confirmed, evaluated, and quantified by appropriate acknowledged industry experts engaged by American Timberlands Company. Value components include, but are not limited to, timber, aggregate/minerals, residential/commercial development, pine straw, recreational use, conservation easements, wetland mitigation, carbon credits, etc.
ATC develops a disposition strategy unique to each land acquisition. The disposition strategy is supported by a comprehensive management plan that is developed and implemented by American Timberlands Company personnel. The individualized plan will identify the activities required to support a successful disposition by quantifying all revenue/expense related activities, project timelines, and compliance with associated laws and regulations. All facets of the finalized plan will be managed by American Timberlands Company personnel who represent the "best in class" within their field of expertise. ATC's ability to identify and monetize existing value components while managing its disposition strategy sets the company apart from all others.
