Market Seclection

People thrive in communities that offer extensive and growing networks, as well as opportunities for advancement. These communities are at the intersection of intellectual, creative and financial capital. This has led Blanco Thornton to focus predominantly on long-established cities that have mature social, economic, health, and education infrastructure.

Our Core Markets possess robust transportation networks, renowned educational institutions and healthcare systems, diversified economic landscapes, influential cultural hubs, historical districts, and ample public spaces. These markets are strategically selected based on supply constraints imposed by geographical and zoning regulations. We prioritize locations experiencing positive in-migration trends of highly educated individuals.

Site Selection

We study zone and block-level data to extract information about neighborhoods that possess strong fundamentals but are overlooked by the investment community.

The balanced qualitative and quantitative investment approach employed by Blanco Thornton leverages extensive data analysis to inform investment decisions. By harnessing thousands of data points and employing advanced location analytics, the firm gains a deep understanding of market dynamics. This data-centric approach empowers Blanco Thornton to discern patterns, recognize undervalued sectors, and identify off-market opportunities.
