The right equity partner is as consequential as the right loan. FOCAL arranges joint venture, LP, and co-GP equity with checks from $2 million to over $100 million for projects from $10 million to over $500 million, at acquisition and through development.
FOCAL's role is to make the project legible to equity: a defensible underwriting, a clean sources-and-uses, and a sponsor story that holds up in diligence, then to run a process across family offices, institutional allocators, and private capital to find the partner whose return targets and control expectations actually fit the deal. On a recent 254-unit multifamily stabilization in Texas, FOCAL arranged a $10.5 million LP equity investment alongside a $28 million bridge loan, assembling 98% of the total capital stack.
The firm arranges equity nationwide from Beverly Hills, California, and pairs it with its debt practice so the whole capital stack is designed as one structure.
