Reasons to Invest
Add something tangible to your investment portfolio with commercial real estate
Diversification may reduce risk in an overall portfolio strategy; consider adding real estate with a 5-7 year holding period
Invest alongside a well-capitalized, stable and reliable manager with $11.9 billion of assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2020
*Disclaimer: Total combined raise includes common shares sold in Reg D and current Reg A offering as of 10/30/2020. The Reg A amount is a combination of shares sold through StartEngine and other broker-dealer involved in the offering.
Why Commercial Real Estate?
One of the most important aspects of any investment portfolio is diversification - this may reduce your risk in an overall portfolio strategy. As a tangible asset, consider adding commercial real estate to your portfolio.
Although real estate investments are still considered to be long term investments, they can provide cash flow and passive income through dividends.
Additionally, real estate traditionally sees less volatility than the stock market.
While private real estate investments are generally considered to be long term, they have the potential to provide cash flow to investors through the collection of tenant rents and fees.
*Disclaimer: Diversification is an important aspect within investment portfolios as it has the ability to reduce exposure to certain idiosyncratic risks. Jamestown Invest 1, LLC's strategy is to acquire and manage a portfolio consisting of real estate investments in urban infill locations which, in the future, could provide access to a diverse mix of assets. At this time Jamestown Invest 1, LLC has acquired one asset.

*Disclaimer: The historical returns provided are backward-looking and do not take into consideration the adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These economic effects are unknown, unpredictable, and could have a material adverse impact on commercial real estate investments.

Why Jamestown?
When you invest with Jamestown, you are doing so alongside a well-capitalized, stable, and reliable manager with $11.9 billion of assets under management worldwide on behalf of more than 80,000 investors across 31 realized funds (as of March 31, 2020).

Meet one of our 300+ investors, Adam Richmond
over 1 year agoDuring a recent investor tour at Southern Dairies, we learned more about Atlanta area investor, Adam Richmond.
"Why do you invest in commercial real estate?
I love that you can touch and see real estate. It's tangible, it's not disappearing and you can't make more land. There's something lasting in that thought. With that said, in the world of commercial real estate, the average person does not have the capital to invest in anything of significance nor do they have the management expertise. With those limitations, I am still personally looking for access to institutional-quality commercial real estate. "

One week remaining on this round of Start Engine funding - what’s next?
over 1 year agoLooking to what’s next, our goal is to raise additional subscription proceeds to acquire our second real estate investment, which may be the Upper Westside Portfolio, identified as one of our target investments. The Upper Westside Portfolio is a four-building industrial/showroom campus that may be repositioned to attract a diverse set of users within the growing Upper Westside submarket of Atlanta, which we believe exemplifies the Fund’s value-add strategy. Approximately $500k of capital is currently undeployed and is being reserved towards our next asset acquisition, which we hope to acquire upon meeting additional fundraising goals. We believe that our current and targeted properties, Southern Dairies @ Ponce City Market and the Upper Westside Portfolio, located in one of our targeted geographies of Atlanta, GA, have displayed performance in line with our objectives and are potentially well positioned to see continued healthy rent growth moving forward.

2 weeks remain in this round of funding
over 1 year agoInvest in healthy office campus environment. Tenants can enjoy as much or as little interaction as they please. Southern Dairies’ location across the street from Ponce City Market and its incorporation as an extension of the PCM campus offers the amenities of a full mixed-use environment without the traffic or congestion of being physically located in a bustling mixed use building. Other noteworthy attributes include:
• 66% of leasable space is accessible via private tenant entrances (not through common areas).
• 89% of leasable space is accessible without using an elevator.
• All suites have individually controlled HVAC units, high ceilings and most have sawtooth roofs for better air circulation.
• The campus has an abundance of outdoor green space, including a redesigned courtyard.
• Several spaces have private tenant patios in excess of 500 SF on the ground floor.
• The entire property is surface parked (no parking decks which tend to have poor air circulation and elevators).
