What Defines HLP
Investment Thesis & Overview
Horizontal Land Strategy
Acquire raw land in high-growth markets, entitle and plat it for single-family homes, then exit before vertical construction by selling shovel-ready “paper lots” to institutional housing buyers. This model capitalizes on the unmet demand for build-ready residential land.
Pre-IPO, Scalable Platform
HLP is structured as a pre-IPO institutional platform, positioning for scale with eventual public market optionality. The goal is to aggregate a high-quality pipeline of entitled housing lots – essentially investing in “the land beneath the housing boom”.
Our Core Values
Built for Speed. Structured for Scale.
Rapid Capital Velocity
By exiting at the land stage, each project targets a short ~12–16 month hold period, dramatically faster than traditional development. This quick turnaround (horizontal development only) allows capital to be recycled quickly into new deals.
Exceptional IRRs
HLP underwrites for >100% project-level IRR (2–3× equity multiple) in each 12–16 month cycle. These triple-digit returns are achievable by adding value through entitlements and flipping the land without taking on construction risk.
De-Risked Exits
Every acquisition is pre-vetted with multiple exit buyers (at least two committed takers lined up per deal). This ensures that once the land is entitled (shovel-ready), HLP can exit quickly – minimizing market risk and holding costs.
