We partner with you

We partner with you. You keep the land.

You do not sell. We design it, get it approved, finance it and build it. You earn a preferred return, paid first. We earn a development fee and a share of the profit. Everyone does well when the project does.

Start a conversation →How it works

01 / How it works

Profoundly simple.

Six steps from a conversation to a sale. You keep the land the whole way through.

TalkA short, private conversation about your property and what it could become.

The planWe work out the highest and best use, the approvals path, the budget and the timeline.

AgreementA partnership agreement prepared by counsel. Nothing starts before it is signed.

Design and approvalsWe design it and carry it through the City, at our own cost, up front.

Finance and buildWe sponsor the construction financing and build it with our own licensed crew. Open book.

SaleYou are paid first: your preferred return and your equity. Then the profit is shared.

02 / The split

What you get. What we do.

You

You keep the land and get paid first.

Title stays with you
A preferred return on your land, paid before any profit
Your equity back at sale
A share of the profit
No construction to manage

We do the work and get paid after you.

Design, approvals, financing and construction
Our cost and our risk through approvals
A development fee as the build progresses
A share of the profit, after your preferred return

Your land.
Our work.

A development fee and a share of the profit is how we are paid. Your preferred return comes first. The numbers are different for every property, which is why they are a conversation and not a page.

03 / Is this you

A good fit if.

Your property is worth more than the house on it

An oversized lot, a splittable lot, a hillside view, a tired house on a great street.

You own it outright, or close to it

Paid off, or very little debt. Your equity is the capital. Nothing to borrow, nothing to put in, and it goes to work for you instead of sitting in the house.

You would rather develop than sell

Selling gives up the upside. Partnering keeps it, without you running the project.

You want to be paid first

A preferred return and your equity come before anyone shares in the profit.

04 / Next step

Before you decide, talk to us.

A short, private conversation. No obligation, no listing, nothing public. We get back to you within one business day.

About this page. This page describes how Coleman Built works in general terms. Every property is different, and the terms of any purchase or partnership are set only in a written agreement prepared by counsel and signed by both parties. Nothing here is an offer, a commitment or a guarantee of price, return or outcome.
