High-Growth Metropolitan Areas
Funds prioritize dynamic urban regions where population and economic expansion drive long-term land demand
- Focus on Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities with consistent job growth and infrastructure spending
- Target locations with strong in-migration, such as Sunbelt metros (e.g., Austin, Phoenix, Atlanta)
- Demand linked to corporate relocations, innovation hubs, and educational anchor institutions
- Land selected for future office, industrial, or mixed-use density near urban cores
Transit-Oriented and Infill Locations
Sites with proximity to transit and amenities are favored for high-yield mixed-use or employment projects
- TOD zones near metro, rail, or BRT lines offer walkability and entitlement incentives
- Infill parcels within 1–5 miles of CBDs support higher density and faster absorption
- Strong preference for land within existing utility and zoning grids
- Suitable for vertical development or partnerships with city redevelopment agencies
Logistics and Industrial Growth Corridors
Regions along key transportation arteries and freight networks attract industrial and flex land investment
- Near interstate highways, ports, rail yards, or airport logistics zones
- Inland logistics hubs like Dallas-Fort Worth, Indianapolis, and Savannah are top targets
- Demand driven by e-commerce, cold storage, and last-mile distribution centers
- Land selected for scalability, truck access, and fast-track permitting
Emerging Secondary and Tertiary Markets
Funds also allocate capital to lower-cost cities offering higher yield potential and land availability
- Cities with improving infrastructure and business climate (e.g., Chattanooga, Des Moines, Spokane)
- Attractive for build-to-rent, flex-industrial, and medical or educational anchors
- Lower acquisition costs allow deeper land banking and larger footprints
- Growth patterns indicate future repositioning or absorption by institutional developers
