How relationships shape better real estate outcomes If the first lesson is that relationships matter, the second is that they shape the quality of the work itself. Real estate is a people business long before it is a numbers business. The conversations, context, and trust behind each opportunity are usually the difference between a good decision and a great one. That’s why our approach across Acquisitions, Development, Investment, and Advisory starts with people first. Strong relationships give you clearer information and better alignment, which leads to smarter underwriting, more thoughtful design, more resilient capital structures, and a strategy that fits the real world, not just the modeled one. When we understand the people behind the property, the investor, the city, or the vision, we can tailor solutions that actually move the needle. Whether it’s sourcing the right deal, shaping a development plan, building a long term portfolio, or helping someone enter or exit a market, the real advantage comes from relationships that run deeper than transactions. Better outcomes follow when the work is built on generosity, clarity, and shared purpose. In our world, that is where value gets created and where partnerships turn into long term success. #CommercialRealEstate #Acquisitions #Development #Investment #Advisory #RelationshipsMatter

Why Relationships Matter The best opportunities still come through people, not algorithms or market noise. We are measured by what we give more than what we make, and the relationships built on generosity, clarity, and shared purpose tend to create the strongest paths forward. Strong partnerships widen your perspective, deepen your understanding, and elevate the work in ways numbers alone never can. #RelationshipsMatter #PeopleFirst #StrategicPartnerships

KSHB / KMCI / The EW Scripps Company reported that the City of Belton, MO's Mayor Larkey unveiled plans for PETRA's mixed-use development featuring 600 homes and a commercial district that will serve as a central hub for food, beverage, and entertainment. "Belton's future is bright because you're a part of it," Mayor Larkey remarked on the PETRA's 163rd District. "We are shaping Belton's tomorrow with thoughtful, community-driven development." The project also includes plans for 80,000 square feet of new retail and restaurants, along with 600 new homes on the 40-acre property. "It will transform the heart of the city and will be centered around a 130,000-square-foot family-focused entertainment venue, right in the heart of the city," Larkey continued. Belton High School graduate and Managing Director, Development, Tyler Burks, is spearheading the development project. "Belton has great fundamentals for real estate development. It's an emerging city," Burks said. Hopefully, that leads to recruitment into tech and industrial companies. We're already having some of those conversations with folks outside the area."

We’re excited to announce the acquisition of Valley Center Flex Space, an 8,188-square-foot flex industrial property in Valley Center, Kansas, just north of Wichita. This property offers a compelling combination of stabilized income and upside potential. A 12-month sale-leaseback ensures immediate cash flow, while giving our team the runway to execute a multi-tenant leasing strategy and unlock additional value. Assets like this highlight the evolving industrial market: well-located, adaptable properties with strong fundamentals continue to attract both tenants and capital. By combining thoughtful repositioning with active asset management, we aim to create long-term value and resilience. Valley Center is a fast-growing suburb with strong demand drivers, and this property positions us to capitalize on that growth while delivering a flexible, modern industrial solution to the market. #GrowWithPetra #ClosedDeal #IndustrialRealEstate #MidwestInvesting #ValueAdd #CRE #wichitamarket #industrialcre #commercialrealestate #acquisition #midwestrealestate #transaction #dealdone #wichitaCRE #PETRAinvesting #flexbuilding

We’re excited to share that PETRA has closed on the acquisition of a 28,000-square-foot warehouse in Park City, Kansas. Acquired at roughly half of replacement cost, this property offers significant upside through below-market rents and strong tenant demand. Strategically located near I-135, it provides excellent access for logistics and distribution operations. The area continues to attract major industrial users, including Amazon, which has developed a one-million-square-foot fulfillment center and a new 176,000-square-foot last-mile delivery facility in nearby Bel Aire. The Wichita industrial market remains healthy, with vacancy rates around 6.5% and average leasing rates topping $10 per square foot. This investment reflects PETRA’s ongoing focus on identifying undervalued, well-located industrial assets that deliver strong long-term value for our investors and partners. #GrowWithPetra #ClosedDeal #IndustrialRealEstate #MidwestInvesting #ValueAdd #CRE #wichitamarket #industrialcre #commercialrealestate #acquisition #midwestrealestate #transaction #dealdone #wichitaCRE #PETRAinvesting #warehouse
