The most common questions
What is a build-to-suit development?
A build-to-suit is a custom commercial property designed and constructed specifically for a single tenant’s operational needs, typically secured through a long-term lease executed before construction begins. This structure allows the building’s layout, systems, and site design to align precisely with how the business operates, rather than retrofitting an existing space.
How does a sale-leaseback create value for business owners?
A sale-leaseback unlocks the equity tied up in owner-occupied real estate by selling the property to an investor and leasing it back under a long-term agreement. Business owners retain full operational use of the building while redeploying capital into core business growth, expansion, or balance sheet optimization.
What does a value-add development process actually involve?
A value-add process goes beyond standard construction management to include strategic site evaluation, programmatic design tailored to the client’s operations, coordination of architects and contractors, and ongoing advisory through delivery. The result is a property engineered for long-term performance rather than a generic building delivered on time and on budget.
When does it make sense to redevelop an existing property versus building new?
Redevelopment typically makes sense when the location holds strategic value, the existing structure has sound bones, or zoning and entitlement timelines favor reuse over ground-up construction. Building new becomes the better path when operational requirements demand a specific footprint, the site cannot accommodate modern systems, or long-term cost of ownership favors a purpose-built asset.
How is project cost structured on a build-to-suit or development project?
Project cost includes land acquisition, hard costs for construction, soft costs for design and entitlements, financing, and a development fee for coordination and risk management. Inventure provides transparent cost modeling early in the process so clients can evaluate total project economics before committing capital.
What is the typical timeline for a commercial development project?
Most commercial development projects run twelve to twenty-four months from site control through occupancy, driven primarily by entitlements, permitting, design complexity, and construction scope. Redevelopment of an existing asset often compresses this timeline, while raw land development on un-entitled sites can extend it.
Does Inventure take an ownership position in development projects?
In select circumstances, Inventure partners with clients in building ownership, sharing in both the development process and the long-term performance of the asset. This structure deepens alignment between advisor and client and is typically considered when the project benefits from a long-horizon ownership partner.
What markets does Inventure develop in?
Inventure focuses on projects where deep client relationships and detailed coordination produce the strongest outcomes, working closely with each client to evaluate market dynamics, site selection, and long-term positioning. Specific market focus is best discussed directly given the custom nature of each engagement.
