Investment type

SUMMIT

Own it for longer, and let time do the work.

Summit investors take an ownership position, held over the longest of the three horizons. You hold equity in real estate the company acquires, develops, owns and operates — residential, commercial, or a specific opportunity that suits a long hold.

The return comes from what the asset produces and from what it is worth at the end of the hold, with nothing set in advance in either direction. The trade is the length of the commitment: a long horizon is what gives appreciation and equity growth time to accumulate.

Where the return comes from

Ownership, not a rate.

The development spread

The difference between what land and construction cost and what the finished asset is worth. It is earned by building, which is also why it is not assured: it depends on entitlement, cost and schedule going roughly as planned.

Appreciation over a long hold

Whatever the asset gains in value while it is owned, on top of any income once it is stabilized. Markets move in both directions over a horizon this long.

Vertical integration

Fort + Home manufactures the housing it develops, so the builder’s margin can stay inside the project instead of going to a third party. The same group sits on both sides of that work, and the fees and compensation payable to affiliates are described in the offering documents.

A development can be delayed, cost more than planned, or be worth less than modeled at exit, and an investor can lose capital. Verify your accredited status →

How it is structured

Two ways a hold ends.

Build to sell

Develop, then exit

The project is built and sold. After project debt and costs are paid, proceeds may be distributed to investors or reinvested in the next homes, as each offering’s documents allow, so the return depends on the market at the time of sale.

Build to rent

Develop, then hold

The project is built and retained as income-producing property. Cash flow begins only once it is leased and stabilized; stabilization may take longer than planned or may not be achieved, and the horizon extends accordingly.

Questions

What investors ask.

What do I actually own?

An equity interest in the entity that develops the project, rather than a note or a loan. You are an owner of a development, you share in what it produces, and you receive a Schedule K-1 each year reflecting your share; its timing depends on the project. Nothing on this page is tax advice. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances, deductions may be limited, and depreciation may be recaptured on sale. Consult your own tax advisor.

When does it pay?

Usually not during construction. A development produces nothing until it is either sold or leased and stabilized, so distributions are back-weighted and their timing depends on the project rather than on a schedule set in advance. There is no assurance any distribution will be made.

What are the main risks?

Entitlement and permitting can take longer than planned. Construction can cost more than budgeted. Lease-up can be slower than modeled, and the market at exit may be worse than at entry. A project also depends on obtaining and keeping construction and permanent financing, which may be unavailable, cost more than modeled, or be withdrawn. A project may need capital beyond the original raise, and an investor may be diluted or asked to fund more. An ownership position sits behind any debt on the project, so a loss falls on equity first, and an investor can lose some or all of the capital invested.

Do Fort + Home affiliates participate in the projects?

Yes. Fort + Home affiliates act as sponsor, manager, developer and builder, and the group manufactures the housing it develops. The same group therefore sits on both sides of construction contracts and management agreements. That is a structural conflict rather than an incidental one, and there is no assurance any such arrangement was negotiated at arm’s length. These relationships create conflicts of interest, including fees and compensation payable to affiliates, which are described in the offering documents for each investment.

Who can invest?

Verified accredited investors, whose status is verified before any investment is finalized. Investors have no right to participate in management and rely on the sponsor to entitle, build and deliver the project. This page is informational and is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
