Capital Strategy

Using capital as a strategic accelerant

Capital is the lifeblood of real estate. All too often, companies view capital as a constraint on their strategic ambitions. RCLCO’s approach emphasizes a balanced approach to capital formation and deployment in order to build capital relationships that enable and accelerate your organization’s broader strategic objectives.

In order to thrive throughout market cycles, leading real estate companies are able to consistently secure aligned capital and allocate it accretively. We work with our clients to define a capital stack that optimizes cost, volume, control & discretion across a range of investment strategies including major M&A transactions. Our capital advisory work is deeply informed by our broad set of relationships in the real estate industry spanning traditional and non-traditional sources of debt and equity.
