Market Expertise Land owned by a Diocese or Catholic organization is a valuable asset which is often at risk of liquidation. Too often, the need for immediate revenue streams overshadows the desire to protect the patrimony of the Diocese or organization. The traditional approach of exchanging land for money serves an immediate need but forfeits the asset forever. And once the proceed of a sale is used, there is no more land for future generations of Catholic Faithful. Anno Domini’s approach is unique, with confidential financial models that are designed to benefit the Church for the next 100 years. Financially as well as physically, Anno Domini improves the position of the Catholic Church and addresses the needs of the Diocesan or organizational leadership. Anno Domini is skilled in improving the Church’s assets to make them very beneficial to the Church. We can recommend and structure options well beyond the traditional approach, all aimed at providing a new revenue stream to the Diocese or religious order. Anno Domini creates agreements for land development that insure profit for the Catholic organization and offers a variety of other innovative, proven techniques that keep the endowment secure and financially strong. Anno Domini takes a market-focused approach that includes: Nursing Homes and Hospitals - Catholic nursing homes and Catholic hospitals have provided the backbone for health care throughout the United States. Today, more than ever, these Catholic institutions need to be maintained to preserve their Catholic identity. A Catholic hospital not only preserves and fulfills the original mission of its founding Religious Order but also complies with the 70 health care directives of the USCCB for Catholic health care. Anno Domini can assist in this preservation by collaborating with the Religious Order that owns the Catholic hospital to provide new sources of revenue through expanding or leasing medical office space and hospital land or facilities. Through Anno Domini’s experience and knowledge of professional medical office development, Catholic hospitals can benefit financially while preserving their Catholic identity. Anno Domini is a clearing house of real estate ideas, financial models and medical office building experience. Physicians and Hospitals are under increasing pressure. They are seeking new sources of revenue due to increasing insurance and other medical costs to their practice. Anno Domini formulates real estate solutions that enable Religious Orders and Organizations to grow and become more profitable while providing the highest level of health care. Land - Although land is a valuable asset, Church entities historically have taken a traditional approach that does not necessarily offer maximum financial benefits. This traditional approach is to exchange land for money. The church, diocese or order sells a site to a developer who pays market price. Sale proceeds are spent on operating and other expenses, leaving no money, no land nor any control over what happens to the land. Anno Domini is skilled in making the liquidation of Church assets very beneficial to the Church. We can recommend and structure options well beyond the traditional approach, all aimed at providing a constant revenue stream to the church, diocese or order. Anno Domini structures agreements for land development that ensure a percentage of profits return to the Catholic organization, and a variety of other innovative, proven techniques that keep the endowment secure and the church, order or diocese growing financially. Seminaries, Convents, Shrines and Diocesan Church Buildings - Housing requirements for Priests and Nuns have changed over the years. These are a vital source of Catholicism in the United States.  Each provides special spiritual and sacramental needs for the Roman Catholic Church. Real estate solutions or models are a key ingredient in helping preserve, expand and enhance these traditional and important assets of Our Church. Many diocese are searching for new ideas and sources of revenue due to a decline in patrimony. Anno Domini consults to identify alternative uses of existing real estate to create a steady flow of new income streams without the loss of patrimony. Houses of Formation, new and existing Shrines, and under-utilized Diocesan land through out the United States each have one common ingredient—real estate with a shifting landscape. But, each situation is different with varying real estate solutions and equations. Anno Domini provides a nationwide expertise in asset development that can assist each Order or Diocese. A new fresh analysis from Anno Domini can provide a critical solution to a difficult problem. Objectivity with smart building or site choices based on the goals and objectives of the Religious Order or Diocese is Anno Domini’s goal as well. With good information shared and reviewed by the entire team, the evaluation process and ultimate final decision will be a good decision based on sound real estate principles and goals. Christian Students & Universities - Similar to Catholic Health Care nationally, Catholic Education historically has been the nucleus of education in the United States as a whole. Anno Domini is working with Catholic Universities nationally, but 85% of Catholic Students are enrolled at public universities. The Facts: There is a desperate need for student housing. The National Center for Education Statistics projects that college enrollment will continue to rise from 16.8 million in 2005 to 18.5 million by 2012—an increase of 1.7 million students. Over the next decade, more than 80 million “echo boomers” will turn 18. Research suggests that Catholic students want a central place to worship and come together. As of 2000, 44,835 students lived in college dormitories, with 70% of college students relying on non-campus housing. Based on historical observation by those in charge of Newman Centers on these public campuses, it has been determined that Catholic students have specific expectations at universities and often prefer living arrangements with other students who share their religious beliefs. Also contributing to the growing demand for student housing is the higher percentage of high school graduates going on to college, and the longer periods of time that college students are taking to graduate. To address these issues, Anno Domini has developed a sound solution: Newman Village Click Here to read more: Click here for Sample Floor Plans
