Prime’s business philosophy is based around keeping it simple, solid and strategic - balancing risk and implementing active management to add value. Prime Way of Adding Value: Simple : Global real estate markets have become very competitive and complex. Prime believes that in order to manage risk – it must first be transparent and ‘simple’. This allows Prime to assess its benefits and risk based return and make decisions as to whether to get involved in a project or not. Solid: Prime’s number one goal is to ‘preserve capital’. Prime believes that preserving value is the first golden rule of business and hence before making any investment decisions, Prime assess the value of the asset making sure that it is – solid. Strategic: This is were business begins. Once risk is transparent and capital is preserved – one must find a way to grow that investment. Prime prides itself for being successful in executing on it’s plans for over a decade and growing the overall firm value by several times over. This is our secret recipe where our people plays the most important role.
