A Generational Investment Opportunity
Kullen Legacy Partners represents the definitive platform to capitalize on the largest dislocation in the U.S. condominium market in decades, led by the industry's founding pioneer.
The Market Opportunity
Recent Florida legislation (Senate Bill 4-D and House Bill 913) has created a "financial cliff" for thousands of older condominium communities, forcing structural inspections and reserve funding that many associations cannot afford.
This regulatory framework, expected to spread nationally, has unlocked a $50+ billion addressable market of motivated sellers facing unmanageable special assessments often exceeding $100,000 per unit.
Florida's 1.5M+ condo units face compliance-driven financial challenges, creating unprecedented opportunities for sophisticated investors with the expertise to navigate this complex landscape.
Our Solution
KLP's innovative approach systematically acquires and repositions distressed condominium assets through our proven four-pillar strategy, extending beyond physical remediation to include hybrid condo-apartment models and hospitality-level amenities.
Our value-add approach transforms aging, deteriorating properties into modern, well-maintained communities while providing attainable, quality housingat 15-25% below market rates.
This creates a true win-win scenario: investors achieve superior returnswhile we address the critical affordable housing crisis in America.
Regulatory Expertise
Deep understanding of Florida's SB 4-D and HB 913 regulations, providing competitive advantages in deal evaluation and execution.
