Our Investment Process
Arete Real Estate invests alongside its partners in Colorado land, structuring developments with aligned incentives and disciplined capital management. From acquisition through exit, every stage is underwritten with conservative assumptions and full investor transparency.
Land acquisition focuses on identifying and securing high-potential parcels through disciplined site selection. Market research and feasibility studies guide every investment decision.
Entitlement and zoning involve navigating regulations, zoning changes, and permits. We work closely with municipalities and stakeholders to secure approvals efficiently.
Conceptual site plans and community layouts are developed in collaboration with architects, engineers, and planners, ensuring sustainable and market-ready projects.
Infrastructure development includes installing utilities, roads, and drainage systems that prepare land for vertical construction or builder sales.
We oversee contractors, schedules, and budgets to ensure projects are delivered on time and to standard. At the same time, we manage financing and investor partnerships with full transparency, aligning capital and execution at every stage.
Strong relationships with local communities, city planners, and civic leaders ensure each project aligns with community needs and long-term growth goals.
We structure deals, source and negotiate debt, and design waterfalls that align incentives with investors. For qualified participants, we also facilitate 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains tax, preserve equity, and enable reinvestment into new high-performing assets.
Exit strategies are tailored to market conditions and investor objectives. Whether through stabilization and sale, recapitalization, or long-term hold, each exit is structured to maximize returns.
