Looking for a build partner

60 homes on 4.7 acres we already own

W Slaughter Lane & Allred Drive, South Austin

A for-sale housing joint venture. We contribute the land and stay in through sellout. The build partner joins as co-GP, runs development and construction, and shares the profit when the homes sell — rather than working for a fee.

Highlights

The opportunity

Land
4.7 contiguous acres with W Slaughter Lane frontage, already owned
Timing
Cleared to build — shovel ready in about four to six months
Product
60 detached homes for sale, about 1,800 sq ft, from 2–3 floor plans
Programme
A starting point, not a condition — a stronger use for the site is welcome
Our stake
Land contributed as equity. We take no developer fee
Your stake
Co-GP interest and a share of the profit at sellout

Upside participation is the key term

The general contractor shares in the profit when the houses sell. The fee, the schedule and the cost cap are ordinary and negotiable. The profit share is what makes you a partner rather than a vendor, and it is the term we care most about getting right.

Outline terms

Key structure

Entity
A new JV with both parties as members
Control
You are managing member for development and construction. A defined list of decisions is joint, with an agreed tiebreak
Construction
You deliver as GC under a cost cap, with open books. Savings go to the JV; overruns are yours to cure
Equity
You are not expected to fund equity unless the lender requires it
Debt
You arrange construction financing and the refinance. After the refinance both parties guarantee
Developer fee
Paid to you as the work progresses. We take none

Land value, preferred return, the profit split, the fee basis and the guarantee terms are all negotiable. We send the full term framework once we have spoken.
