Hummingbird offers underwriting & due diligence services in addition to investments.

HUMMINGBIRD specializes in the acquisition, underwriting, due diligence of and asset management of shallow bay, industrial and logistics properties across markets in the United States. Our disciplined approach emphasizes risk management, stable cash flow, and strategic capital deployment — creating resilient portfolios that preserve and grow investor wealth through every market cycle.

Our First Rule:

Protect Capital Above All Else

Preserving investor capital is the foundation of everything we do. Our philosophy is rooted in discipline, not speculation, building wealth through measured, intelligent decision-making and risk awareness. Every acquisition begins with a focus on safety: maintaining conservative leverage, structuring debt with predictable terms, and spacing maturities to prevent concentrated exposure.

We believe that strong investments are built on resilience, not aggressiveness. By combining data-driven financial analysis with hands-on market insight, Peykar Capital ensures that every project is evaluated from every angle, operational, financial, and strategic, before a single dollar is deployed. Each property stands independently, insulated from external risks, and supported by a long-term business plan designed to generate steady, reliable cash flow regardless of market cycles.

This disciplined approach, refined through decades of experience, allows us to achieve the one result that matters most: consistent performance and capital protection for our investors.

Conservative Leverage

We maintain a prudent loan-to-value ratio, typically below 65%, providing a built-in cushion to protect investor capital and ensure steady debt coverage.

Independent Project Structures

Each property stands alone financially no cross-collateralization, no contagion risk. This independence strengthens overall portfolio resilience.

Predictable Performance

Through structured financing, hedging, and strategic debt planning, every investment is built to perform under varying market conditions.

Our First Rule:

Protect Capital Above All Else

At Hummingbird, every decision begins with one priority — the preservation of investor capital. Our approach is built on discipline, not speculation, combining data-driven underwriting, thorough due diligence, and conservative financing to minimize risk at every stage.

We maintain moderate leverage levels, structure debt with predictable terms, and carefully stagger loan maturities to avoid concentrated exposure. Each investment stands on its own — financially independent, insulated from portfolio-wide volatility, and guided by a long-term business plan that prioritizes stability and sustained income generation.

By grounding every acquisition in transparency, analysis, and experience, Hummingbird builds portfolios designed to endure — delivering consistent performance and protecting what matters most: the capital entrusted to us.
