JF 3912: Recapitalization, Rent Growth, and Redevelopment ft. Brian Ker

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise interviews Brian Ker, President of Snowball Developments, about his value-add industrial investment strategy in the tri-state area. Brian shares his journey from institutional brokerage in Canada to running a 2 million square foot industrial portfolio in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. He explains why buying “ugly buildings on great dirt” in dense, urban infill markets creates the best long-term opportunities, and dives into the importance of underwriting downside risk, particularly in volatile interest rate environments. The conversation also explores how strategic recapitalization, operator creativity, and smart broker relationships help maximize value—even in challenging market cycles.
