Real Estate

Built for endurance.

Opportunity evaluation, capital structure, diligence, decision governance and operating oversight across property-level and portfolio-level matters.

Opportunity lifecycle

One process, eight stages, a single binding gate.

Opportunities move along a governed line. Each stage produces the evidence the next stage tests, and nothing advances on enthusiasm alone.

Market + investment intelligence

The asset is priced after the market is read.

Intelligence work is assembled as a ledger: each line is sourced, each line can be challenged, and the thesis is written last.

  1. Basis

    Acquisition basis established against verifiable inputs rather than asking price.

  2. Income and occupancy

    Rent and vacancy assumptions tested where the asset class carries them.

  3. Market screen

    Submarket supply, pipeline and absorption read before the asset is priced.

  4. Comparable sales

    Comparables assembled and adjusted so the conclusion stays traceable.

  5. Demand foundation

    Population and employment structure treated as the demand the asset depends on.

  6. Opportunity thesis

    A written thesis stating what must hold true for the asset to endure.

Capital + structure

Structure decides what the asset can survive.

Capital work runs from requirement to executed terms, with the downside sized before the upside is discussed.

Capital requirements
Total capital required through stabilization, stated before terms are discussed.
Financing alternatives
Debt and equity alternatives compared on covenant and control, not headline rate.
Structure recommendation
A recommended structure carried with the reasoning it rests on.
Underwriting
Models built so every assumption has an owner and a source.
Sensitivity
Downside cases run to the point where the structure stops holding.
Terms support
Support through term negotiation and documentation alongside sponsor counsel.

Governance + decision

The operating boundary is stated, not implied.

LGC manages the process.

Sponsor parties authorize.

Deal entities execute.

LGC does not provide brokerage, lending, appraisal, securities placement or fund custody. Advisory work supports sponsor decision-making; authorization and execution remain with the sponsor parties and the deal entities.

Selected work

Building an investment decision platform.

The capability is a system of record for decisions: one place where an opportunity is entered, tested, decided and then held to account.

What the record holds

One record per opportunity
An opportunity is held as a structured record rather than a thread of correspondence.
Assumptions with owners
Each assumption carries the person accountable for it and the source it came from.
A single model of record
One underwriting model, versioned as inputs are confirmed rather than replaced.
Findings bound to assumptions
Diligence is filed against the assumption it confirms or contradicts.
The memo drawn from the record
The case, the risks and the unresolved questions assembled from what the record holds.
Decisions kept with their evidence
Reporting after close is measured back against the underwriting that authorized it.
