Investment

Utilising a third party development firm for property development project offers a wide variety of benefits to the investor. First and foremost among these benefits is vastly improved speed to market. In many instances, a third party development approach can reduce the time spent securing approvals and designing the project by 50% to 75%. This approach can help accelerate revenue generation , avoid expensive construction cost escalation , and take advantage of lower interest rates (particularly in a rising rate environment).

Through the use of ground leases and purchase options , an investor can maintain control of the project and achieve the same results as it would in a typical owner-controlled project.

The use of SQM can provide a useful buffer between the investor and the developments end-users.
