Dispositions
Canopy Real Estate Partners works with property owners who are evaluating a potential disposition and want a clear, credible understanding of value, timing, and execution.


We are often engaged when an owner has been approached with an opportunity and wants to confirm legitimacy — or when an owner prefers a controlled, discreet alternative to a broad public marketing process.
Why Owners Engage with Canopy
Owners engage with Canopy because the conversation is measured, informed, and grounded in reality.


Our role is not to create urgency or push a transaction forward prematurely. Instead, we help owners understand how serious institutional capital is viewing their property today — including pricing, structure, and timing considerations — so decisions can be made with clarity and confidence.


Our approach is supported by disciplined research, consistent market coverage, and a structured evaluation process that allows us to speak credibly about value without speculation or pressure.


In many cases, the initial objective is simply to establish a reliable point of reference. Whether a transaction ultimately moves forward remains entirely the owner’s decision.
The Off-Market Disposition Process
An off-market disposition is a situational approach, shaped by the asset, ownership objectives, and current market conditions.

We facilitate targeted discussions with serious, well-capitalized institutional buyers with defined capital deployment mandates, ensuring alignment around intent, pricing expectations, and transaction structure before a process advances.


Rather than broadly exposing a property to the market, we focus on:
• Engaging a relevant and qualified buyer universe

• Establishing clear expectations early

• Advancing discussions only when there is genuine interest on both sides


This process is designed to reduce unnecessary disruption, avoid false starts, and move forward efficiently once alignment exists.
When an Off-Market Sale Makes Sense
An off-market disposition is often considered when ownership priorities extend beyond a traditional price discovery process and place greater emphasis on control, clarity, and alignment.


Owners frequently explore this approach when discretion, timing, certainty, or transaction structure meaningfully influence how a potential sale should be evaluated.
Discretion and Control
For many owners, limiting exposure is an important consideration. An off-market process allows discussions to remain focused and controlled, reducing unnecessary visibility and protecting sensitive relationships.


Information is shared deliberately, conversations are targeted, and the process advances only when there is genuine interest. Confidentiality is treated as a baseline expectation, not a feature.
Timing, Certainty, and Optionality
Owners evaluate opportunities through different lenses. Some prioritize certainty of execution, while others value flexibility around timing, structure, or future use of the facility.


Off-market transactions can be competitive — and in certain situations, produce outcomes that are equal to or better than a broadly marketed process — particularly when pricing, structure, and timing are aligned early.


Engaging in an off-market discussion does not require a commitment to sell. Owners retain control throughout the process and can pause, recalibrate, or step away at any point.
Transaction Structure
An off-market approach is particularly well-suited to situations where transaction structure is as important as price.
​
This includes scenarios such as evaluating sale-leaseback structures, whether the priority is maintaining long-term occupancy, introducing flexibility ahead of operational changes, or aligning a disposition with broader capital or balance sheet objectives.
​
A targeted process allows these considerations to be addressed thoughtfully — without unnecessary noise or disruption.
