How we capitalize deals

For a hypothetical $100 million project with this form of capitalization, Peakhill would invest $5.33 million of GP equity, while the Development Partner would invest $2.67 million of GP equity. Peakhill’s investment reduces the up-front equity required from the developer partner and Peakhill would be able to provide its lending and limited partner relationships as well as credit enhancement through its balance sheet and liquidity to obtain best-in-class construction loan and LP equity terms. The Co-GP partners would then share in the enhanced economics of the GP position in the deal.

Peakhill is flexible in deal structures and is able to invest up to 80% of the required co-GP equity.

LP Equity and Co-GP Equity are split 80/20, respectively
Co-GP Equity split 66.7% / 33.3%between the Co-GP partners
