Build-to-Suit Development

A purpose-built facility, delivered turnkey.

Build-to-suit covers any path that ends in a facility designed around your concept. Existing building that needs a full renovation or expansion. Vacant box that needs a major redevelopment. Or, when no existing building fits, a ground-up build on a sourced parcel. Haven funds up to 100% of land, acquisition, and construction; manages design and construction in-house; and delivers under a long-term triple net lease.

Our Proprietary Process

Six steps from sourcing to opening day.

We find the site. We put it under contract. We drive the deal start to finish. Same team from first market scan to certificate of occupancy. No handoffs. No financing scramble mid-build.

01

We source the site or evaluate yours.

Haven runs the market — and we evaluate sites you've already identified. Existing buildings, redevelopment candidates, vacant boxes, or raw parcels for ground-up. The right path follows the unit economics.

02

We negotiate and put it under contract.

Greg leads legal through the LOI, PSA, and closing. We negotiate price down where the comps support it, and execute under our committed capital. No financing contingencies.

03

We acquire and entitle.

Haven takes title. Manages zoning verification, environmental DD, building condition assessments, and permitting. You stay focused on operations while the regulatory arc gets handled.

04

We design and build.

Jason and the in-house development team run budget, GC selection, vendor management, value engineering, and weekly site oversight. Renovation, redevelopment, or ground-up — your buildout specifications get translated faithfully into a building that opens turnkey.

05

You sign a long-term triple net lease.

15–20 year initial term. Rent underwritten against your verified unit economics. Corporate or parent guarantee. Master lease for portfolio rollouts.

06

We deliver turnkey, on your timeline.

You receive a finished, equipped, ready-to-open facility. The process is repeatable: second location, tenth, fiftieth. Same team, same discipline, any market.

What We Won't Do

Build-to-suit is the harder version of the work. We're narrow on purpose so the deals we do, we deliver clean.

Speculative ground-up.

Every build needs a signed operating tenant on day one. We don't build on spec hoping to fill the building later.

Concepts that haven't proven the unit economics.

We need at least two existing locations with documented EBITDA we can underwrite the new building's rent against. Pre-revenue brand extensions don't qualify.

Highly-customized facilities with no alt-tenant use.

If the asset only works for one specific operator and has no residual value to anyone else, we can't take that asset-narrowness risk.

Have a target market? Or a site under LOI?

Either way, we move from there. 48-hour answer. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you why.
