Dr. Bharat Sangani, Founder and Chairman of Encore Enterprises, co-founded the firm in 1999 as a vehicle for investors to share in the success of his real estate deals. In 1991, “Doc,” as he is known by both clients and co-workers, made his first investment in real estate, transforming a failing hotel in Gulfport, Mississippi. Doc quickly learned he has a natural instinct for real estate investing and began growing his portfolio. Over the nearly 30 years that followed, Doc has established a successful real estate investment and development firm with a proven track record across various sectors and multiple market cycles throughout the United States. He is responsible for more than $2.7 billion in real estate transactions for Encore and oversees every aspect of the business, from operations to financial management. Admired for his relentless work ethic, Doc, along with a team of experienced, results-driven, and forward-thinking individuals, leads Encore on the principles of honesty, integrity, and fairness. He is an active contributor to the community and is involved in various charities both locally and in India.
The ruler is broken. Our foundations of real estate comprehension have been set off balance with the unknown world of today. The struggle for what factors bring a project to stabilization are a challenge for underwriting and a compelling need for mastery to achieve it. Within the specific niche of Hospitality bringing hard assets and operations together, we have new risk profiles that bring a new set of boxes to check.
Today, we do not have a long term time line forward on solidified underlying factors which can be dependable and remain highly volatile. How can we define, control and rationalize through this environment and what does it create for current acquisition, development and repositioning strategies? We must take all the pieces into consideration as we find the pathway to service the needs of tomorrow's traveler, vacationer and remote worker.
The responsibility to develop these answers for the Hospitality segment will also impact the world's needs of new buildings, the way we live in and around them and how our future urban cities will develop in a more environmentally conscious way.
