Equity Development Group, LLC
Backed by 20 years of commercial retail, with more than two million square feet of retail development to our name.
What we do
We identify and acquire sites, underwrite the deal, secure entitlements, manage construction, and deliver a finished asset. Clients and partners work with one team from start to finish rather than coordinating across separate consultants.
Site acquisition
Identify and acquire strategically located sites.
Underwriting
Analyze the market, model the economics, and structure the deal in-house.
Entitlements
Navigate zoning, permitting and approvals to position the project.
Construction
Manage design, construction and coordination through completion.
Delivery
Deliver a finished asset ready for long-term occupancy and value creation.
Underwriting
Because we underwrite our own deals, we move quickly on opportunities that require a fast read. We can assess a site, model the economics, and structure terms without waiting on outside analysis.
That is an advantage in competitive markets and on deals with tight closing windows, where the seller is choosing between buyers on certainty as much as on price.
Site evaluation
A straight read on whether the site is worth pursuing.
In-house underwriting
Deal economics modeled by the people who priced the last hundred.
Term structuring
Terms built around how the seller actually needs the deal to close.
Quick execution
Certainty on the closing window, not just a number on a page.
Who we develop for
Full-service big box development, from site acquisition and due diligence through construction and turnover, giving retailers a single point of accountability from start to finish.
We acquire land on behalf of QSR operators and develop it end to end, through ground lease, build-to-suit, or pad lease, so brands can expand without carrying the site risk themselves.
Services we provide
We source and evaluate sites before they are widely marketed: trade area, demographics, traffic counts, and competitive positioning, all assessed in-house. You get a straight answer on a site's viability fast, not a committee's opinion three weeks later.
Deal economics modeled in-house, start to finish. A site can be priced and a decision made on our timeline, with no outside analyst holding up the process.
Rezoning, site plan approval, variances, concurrency, and the hearings that go with all of it. We know what a site needs to get to a permit before we commit to it, so fewer surprises turn up once you are under contract.
We oversee development and investment opportunities from first look through stabilized asset. One team stays on a deal end to end, so nothing gets handed off, re-explained, or dropped between phases.
We carry the site, the capital, and the construction, and hand you a finished building on your prototype and your open date. No outside financing to wait on, no separate contractor to manage, one team accountable for the whole delivery.
Long-term ground lease structures for tenants who want control of the improvements without owning the dirt. You build to your standards, keep the flexibility, and skip the capital tied up in land ownership.
