Founded in 2019 by industry veterans, Fred Lewis and Dennis Cisterna, Sentinel Net Lease is a privately held commercial real estate investment firm. Our focus is on assets that produce ongoing cash-flow from long-term leases. Our firm targets opportunistic situations that may not be a fit for traditional institutional investors due to size or transaction complexity. These assets are expected to be resistant to certain market disruptions while offering potential outsized returns for investors. Our integrated business model creates a competitive edge in the marketplace that provides sustainable, long-term value to our investors. Since our inception, Sentinel has made it a priority to improve the investment experience for our investors to make smarter, more informed decisions related to our current portfolio and future acquisitions. Advances in technology, applications, and data analytics have made it possible for middle-market investors like Sentinel to have access to the same tools as the largest investment firms in the world. Even before we close on an acquisition, the Sentinel team likely knows the property better than the owner selling it because of our attention to detail and desire to roll up our sleeves and dig in. We strive to learn as much as possible in the diligence process through on-site visits, reviewing all due diligence items provided by the seller and our own commissioned reports to make sure that the investment is sound and that we understand the asset’s condition to identify and reduce failures in the future. Our acquisition and asset management roadmap allows Sentinel to create outcome-driven asset management solutions at the individual property level.
