Problem → Opportunity

Problem

Traditional housing is slow and expensive—capital sits idle, timelines slip, and affordability suffers.

Right

We deliver compact, energy-efficient homes using standardized plans and tight, site-built schedules—faster builds, lower costs, and real collateral. Investors participate in short, de-risked project cycles aligned to affordability outcomes.

Why Out of the Box

Affordability and natural, low-VOC materials at the core.

Speed & Repeatability

Standardized plans and disciplined site execution shorten build times.

Real Collateral

 Land & improvements, milestone inspections, lawyer-controlled draws.

Transparent Reporting

Bi-weekly progress, budget-vs-actuals, and impact snapshots.

How Returns Are Created

01

Acquire/permit lots

(active sites typically pre-funded).

02

Build to lock-up quickly, then finish efficiently

(site-built by local trades).

03

Sell to end buyers at attainable prices.

04

Return investor capital + targeted 20%+

at buyer closing (or via refi take-out, if used).

Offer at a Glance

Target Return

20%+ per project cycle.

Target Duration

~6 months (allow 6–9 months outside window)

Use of Funds

100% vertical construction + contingency + interest reserve (lots/permits typically pre-funded).

Security & Controls

First charge on improvements, assignment of sale proceeds, builder’s risk/CGL, third-party inspections, lien waivers, lawyer-controlled draws.

Impact

Priced to local income bands; high-efficiency envelope (heat pump + HRV); lower lifetime utilities for buyers.

Capital Structures

A) Secured Construction Notes (Income Focus)

  • Fixed 20% target return at sale closing; step-ups if schedule extends.

  • Term: ~6 months (extensions 3–6 months if needed).

  • Security package + staged draws tied to milestones.

B) Preferred Equity (Income + Upside)

  • 8% cumulative pref + performance split above pref (caps/targets set per tranche).

  • Same controls; upside participation across a small
    portfolio of identical homes.

Final terms vary by tranche and counsel’s guidance; details in the Investor Package.
