The Longview II Fund: A Smart Path to Diversified Income

October 2024

Sower’s Longview II Fund focuses on the acquisition and management of income-producing commercial real estate, particularly open-air retail centers in secondary and tertiary markets across the U.S. These properties typically feature junior anchor tenants, which allow for strategic flexibility and greater long-term value.

The fund targets markets with low supply and high demand for retail space, which creates upward pressure on rents and offers investors an opportunity to acquire assets at a discount compared to replacement costs. The strategy emphasizes value-add opportunities, such as improving operational efficiencies or enhancing tenant mixes to increase income potential. Investors benefit from stable cash flows, asset appreciation, and tax advantages, all while Sower Capital Management remains actively involved in managing the portfolio to ensure long-term growth​. Sower Commercial’s expertise in commercial real estate and partnerships with experienced market operators further enhances the potential for maximizing returns in this fund​.

Investors also benefit from Sower’s customized Preferred Asset Program wherein investors work with Sower’s professional asset managment team to exchange property for preferred shares in Longview II. Sower’s Preferred Asset Program allows investors to defer taxes and diversify assets without the encumbrance of strict 1031 exchange rules. 1031 exchanges have tight timelines for investors to identify replacement properties and closing dates. Sower’s Preferred Asset Program gives investors more flexibility to convert their property into shares without the risk of missing deadlines and losing their tax-deferral benefits.

Longview II’s Preferred Asset Program is an appealing option for investors looking to transition away from direct real estate ownership while still deferring taxes and diversifying their portfolio.
