Contractors and Builders Buying in Chicago
Builders and contractors need the right dirt at the right basis. We help contractors source lots, teardowns, and rehab projects, and we partner on builds through joint ventures when the project fits.
Builders who need the right project at the right basis
Contractors and builders are buying a project, not a finished home. The questions are zoning, permits, lot economics, and whether the basis leaves room for a real margin after the build.
- Teardown and infill lots
- Gut-rehab and value-add projects
- Joint ventures on builds when the project fits
- Zoning, permit, and title checks before you buy
Sourcing and partnership on builds
We source off-market lots and projects and bring them to builder partners, and we co-invest on the right builds through joint ventures. We verify zoning and title pressure early so a project does not stall after closing. See our joint ventures and partnerships page for how we structure these.
Check the basis before you buy
Model the cost to hold and the project math before you commit to a lot or a rehab.
Frequently asked questions
Do you sell lots and teardown properties?
We source off-market lots, teardowns, and rehab projects and bring them to builder and contractor partners through contract acquisitions and joint ventures.
Will you partner on a build?
Yes, when the project fits. We co-invest with builders through joint ventures, sharing the basis and the upside. Reach out through our joint ventures page.
Do you check zoning and permits?
We flag zoning, permit, and title pressure early so a project does not stall after closing. We are not a substitute for your architect or the city, but we help you avoid obvious traps before you buy.
