Capital Structuring & Joint Ventures

Structures that align the capital stack with the business plan — and our own capital committed alongside yours.

We structure the equity side of the capital stack around what a specific project actually needs: joint ventures with operating partners, co-GP arrangements with sponsors, preferred equity where the business plan supports it, and common equity from investors who want direct development exposure.

We co-invest in every project we ask a partner to back. That is the whole basis on which we ask anyone to underwrite us — our capital carries the same risk, in the same position, on the same terms as the capital we raise. It also disciplines our underwriting in a way no investment committee memo can.

We put our own money into every project we ask a partner to back — same risk, same position, same terms.

What this includes

01

Joint ventures

JV structures with operating partners and landowners contributing sites, capital, or execution capacity.

02

Co-GP & sponsorship

Co-general-partner arrangements with sponsors who bring a proven track record in a target market or asset class.

03

Preferred & common equity

Equity tranches structured to the project's risk profile and hold period rather than to a house template.

04

Waterfall & promote design

Distribution waterfalls, preferred returns, and promote structures set so incentives survive contact with a difficult project.

05

Principal co-investment

Our own capital committed in every project, in the same position as our partners'.

06

Partner reporting

Ongoing reporting against the business plan the capital was raised on, through to realisation.

How we engage

  1. 01

    Align

    We agree the business plan, hold period, and target return before we discuss structure.

  2. 02

    Structure

    We design the equity stack and waterfall to fit that plan and the project's real risk profile.

  3. 03

    Commit

    We document the venture and fund, with principal co-investment alongside partner capital.

  4. 04

    Report

    We report against the plan through construction, stabilization, and exit.

Sectors we apply this to

The same capability, underwritten differently by asset class.
