What We Do
Our Approach
Real Estate Monetization
Treated as a Capital Allocation Decision
One of our core competencies is helping clients evaluate real estate monetization as a capital allocation tool, not a one-off property sale. Every evaluation is tailored to the specific situation and grounded in comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis at the outset, followed by a full set of advisory services throughout the life cycle of the engagement. Because a sale leaseback is part corporate finance raise and part property transaction, we bring both skillsets to the table with senior-level partner and principal involvement from first evaluation through close.
Why A Corporate Finance Background Matters
Advisory
Transaction Structures
Providing advisory solutions to a range of transaction types
-
Traditional / Long-term SLB
The owner-occupant of a property sells the real estate to an investor and simultaneously signs a long-term (typically 10–20 year) net lease to keep operating from it, converting owned real estate into a rent obligation while retaining full operational control
-
Short Term SLB
A sale leaseback structured with a much shorter lease term (often 1–5 years, sometimes with extension options), typically used as interim financing or when the seller strategically seeks flexibility to relocate, downsize, or exit the space in the near term
-
Catch & Release
A strategy where a tenant acquires (“catches”) their existing leased and occupied property and then resells (“releases”) it to a long-term buyer such as a REIT or institutional net-lease fund
-
Reverse Build to Suit
In a reverse build-to-suit, the company leads the development of its new facility, and an investor funds the development and construction. The investor owns the completed property and leases it to the company
-
Programmatic
A pre-negotiated, ongoing arrangement between a capital provider and an operator (often a multi-location or PE-backed platform) to execute a recurring series of sale leasebacks or acquisitions across multiple properties over time under standardized pricing and terms, rather than negotiating each deal individually
