OUR MISSION.
With a track record of over 30 years dating back to its predecessor McCann Development, Saber has completed over $1.5 Billion of developments and acquisitions to date. Saber is led by two seasoned real estate professionals: Martin Berger of McCann Development (33 years of experience) and Michael Klinger formerly of The Blackstone Group and The Related Companies (23 years of experience).
Saber’s primary business is to identify attractive development opportunities in AAA locations and to pre-lease them to credit tenants providing superior risk-adjusted returns with 300+ basis spreads between yield on cost and market cap rates. Saber’s modus operandi is to secure prime retail and mixed-use sites, and manage the permitting and approval processes. We mitigate development risks by pre-leasing and by obtaining third-party contractor payments and completion bonds before commencing construction.
Saber, through its decades of building successful tenant relationships combined with its unblemished track record and reputation, has superior access to off market opportunities. Moreover, Saber’s in-house asset management, development repositioning, legal and accounting expertise allows it to maximize value and performance.
Sustainability
For Saber, sustainable development is smart development – environmentally sensitive, community-minded and economically viable.
Our designs and construction practices are carefully executed to achieve sustainability and resiliency. Our projects are designed in accordance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). We take the extra time and absorb the added expense to recycle building materials and reuse materials such as steel, brick and concrete in new construction whenever feasible. This also avoids the need for thousands of truckloads of import, thus reducing congestion on local roads and harmful emissions into the environment.
