Work with us

For partners who would rather co-develop than hire a builder.

Some relationships do not fit a construction contract. An institutional partner with capital and a mandate does not need a general contractor so much as a counterparty who can originate, execute, and stay in the deal.

That is the third way to work with us, alongside hiring us as a general contractor or buying steel from us.

What we contribute

What we bring to a deal.

Not a bid. A cost basis, an origination pipeline, and execution risk we hold ourselves.

Origination and entitlement
Sites we have assembled and entitled ourselves, with the jurisdictional work already done rather than still to be discovered.
A real cost basis
Because we manufacture the structure and self-perform the MEP, our construction budget is production cost rather than a market bid. That is underwritable in a way a GC estimate is not.
Execution risk we hold ourselves
We are not passing construction risk through to a third party and then explaining it to you. The scopes most likely to move are ours.
Alignment after turnover
We take ownership positions and stay in for operation, so our interest does not end at substantial completion.

Originate to operate

We are in the deal at every stage.

A partner is not handing work to a builder and hoping. We are on the same side of the table from origination through operation.

  1. 01

    Originate

    We find and assemble the site, and take the entitlement risk ourselves rather than inheriting someone else's.

  2. 02

    Structure

    We underwrite the project the way a lender does and build the capital stack around what the asset can actually carry.

  3. 03

    Fund

    Debt, equity, public participation, and incentives, arranged before construction dollars are committed.

  4. 04

    Build

    Ground up delivery with the steel and the MEP self-performed, so the critical path is ours to control.

  5. 05

    Own

    We hold assets rather than only building them, which aligns us with how the building performs after turnover.

  6. 06

    Scale

    Repeatable systems, a manufactured structure, and a standing trade base let the same model run again on the next site.

Structures

How partnerships are set up.

  • Development joint ventures on sites we have originated
  • Programmatic partnerships across multiple sites in a defined market
  • Capital partnership on energy and housing projects inside a master plan
  • Institutional partnerships of the kind that back firms like Wadsworth and Mortenson
