Land Assets
Strategic Land Transactions
Most land value is created—or destroyed—before a transaction ever closes.
We represent buyers and sellers of commercial land with a development-minded approach, treating each parcel as a future project rather than a speculative asset. Our role is to identify real demand, quantify risk, and structure transactions that reflect what the land can become, not merely what it is today.
This applies whether the objective is disposition, long-term land banking, assemblage, or acquisition for development.
Land Framework
I. Ownership Objectives & Use Analysis
Every land engagement begins with clarity of intent.
We assess:
-
Hold vs. sell considerations
-
Income vs. appreciation priorities
-
Timeline sensitivity
-
Tax exposure and exchange options
-
Willingness to pursue entitlement or rezoning
-
Appetite for partnership or phased exits
This establishes whether the land should be sold as-is, entitled, repositioned, or transitioned into a development or GP structure.
II. Highest-and-Best-Use Evaluation
Land value is inseparable from use.
Our analysis includes:
-
Zoning and overlay constraints
-
Density, FAR, and use-by-right vs. conditional uses
-
Access, utilities, and off-site improvements
-
Environmental and topographical factors
-
Market demand by product type
-
Comparable land and stabilized project economics
Where appropriate, we underwrite the finished product to determine what a rational buyer or developer can truly pay.
III. Market Positioning & Buyer Targeting
Land does not benefit from broad, unfocused exposure.
We position sites for:
-
Local and regional developers
-
Owner-operators
-
Institutional and private capital groups
-
Adjacent landowners or assemblage buyers
By aligning the land with the right buyer profile, we avoid wasted time, speculative offers, and value erosion.
IV. Deal Structuring & Risk Allocation
Land transactions require thoughtful structuring.
We assist with:
-
Straight sales and acquisitions
-
Phased takedowns
-
Seller participation or retained equity
-
Option structures
-
1031-compatible dispositions
-
Pre-development or JV pathways where appropriate
Terms are evaluated not only on price, but on certainty, control, and execution risk.
V. Diligence, Closing & Forward Strategy
We manage diligence with a development lens.
This includes:
-
Coordinating surveys, environmental, and zoning review
-
Managing buyer diligence timelines
-
Preserving leverage through disciplined process control
-
Preparing for post-closing development or resale
When applicable, we remain involved beyond closing—supporting entitlement, capital formation, or future phases.
Who is this for:
-
-
Landowners unsure whether to sell, entitle, or partner
-
Investors achquiring land for future development
-
Developers seeking well-positioned sites
-
Owners pursuing assemblage or strategic exits
-
Our role
We are not land brokers chasing listings.
We operate as advisors and execution partners. We are focused on protecting downside, unlocking upside, and aligning land strategy with long-term objectives.
