A Guide for Investors and Developers
- The Days of 80 to 90% bank project financing are gone.
- Project financing now requires real equity and almost always involves an outside equity partner.
- Today’s LP equity partners are providing up to 90% of the 30-40% equity requirement sought by most construction lenders.
- From a developer’s perspective, LP equity allows the developer to generate fees and preserve capital to support the soft cost associated with pre-development. From an LP equity investor’s perspective, investment in a development deal provides the high risk-adjusted returns in real estate, typically only found in the case of distressed or turnaround situations.
- From an investment perspective, OpenSource brings an additional level of underwriting and investment management for the benefit of the GP, the LP, and the lender.
- Open Book investors are prepared to take on equity risk in return for a very high expected level of return. Target returns for opportunity funds and high net worth individuals are currently in the low to mid-20s, based on time horizons of 3 to 4 years.
