A Proactive Approach to
Land Investment & Development
Most land investors take a “wait & see” approach. We know there’s a better path to success.
We focus on assembling,
master planning, entitling, incentivizing, branding,
& developing strategically-located land tracts in both
urban & suburban locations.
OUR EXPERIENCE SETS US APART
With decades of combined years of experience in real estate, strategic planning, finances, and business, our key principals and investors converge to bring our company’s vision to life on every piece of land we select. We hold immense pride in our involvement in a number of transformational projects, both nationally and internationally, through which we have successfully “reimagined” the possibilities initially offered by the original underlying land tracts.
How We’re Different
With a cumulative prior involvement in over $20 billion in land acquisition, project master planning, construction, finance, development, and public-private partnerships, and backed by a multi-million dollar, all-equity land investment fund, Artisan Land Companies never incurs debt and never undertakes vertical development. Instead, we are able to create fully zoned, “development-ready” land tracts that can be sold to residential and commercial developers.
Our commitment to an “Enhancement & Acceleration” process maximizes our approach while dramatically shortening the land-holding period for investors.
Traditionally, a passive land investment strategy is comprised of these steps:
1
Select and acquire land in a perceived growth corridor or path of progress.
2
Place a “For Sale” sign.
3
Wait for development activity to begin to occur along the chosen corridor.
Sell when the surrounding market area matures (potentially upwards of 5-10+ years).
4
This strategy can be successful and profitable, but we believe that land investment should involve a much more proactive and aggressive approach.
Guided by our vision to develop land in a way that benefits the broader community, our “Enhancement and Acceleration” model follows a strategic process:
1
Select a site based on comprehensive due diligence analysis.
2
Initiate land acquisition and assemblage.
3
Start our “Reimagination Process”, where we reimagine what the land could be.
4
Determine a project name and identity.
5
Devise a master plan with complementary land uses.
6
Negotiate entitlements and incentives, often involving major rezoning.
7
Identify primary drivers and potential users.
Develop infrastructure when appropriate.
8
9
Sell or ground lease to users and developers.
We’re active investors and passionate from beginning to end. That’s why our projects aren’t just profitable – they’re transformational.
