For Capital Investors, Family Offices, and Operator-Aligned Allocators
Invest Alongside the Team
That Actually Builds the Deal
We structure, finance, entitle, build, and sell qualified development projects across Florida. Each deal is its own Joint Venture LLC. You contribute capital, share in the upside, and stay close to the people running the project.
Per Deal Direct Member Ownership
The Core Opportunity
Most Real Estate Investing Puts Your Capital at Arms-Length
Public REITs, syndicated funds, and crowdfunding platforms put a sponsor between you and the asset. A direct project-level JV LLC keeps you closer to the deal — and to the team executing it.
Pooled Funds Distance You
Most platforms aggregate your capital into a fund that buys deals. You hold a fund interest, not a direct ownership stake in any single project.
Sponsor Layers Eat Returns
Each layer between you and the asset takes a fee. Platform fees, fund management fees, sponsor promotes — they compound and reduce what reaches the property.
A Direct Structure May Exist
In a project-specific JV LLC, you become a Member of the deal entity itself. One LLC, one project, transparent ownership, direct line to the operator.
Investor Fit
Who Tends to Find a JV LLC Structure a Better Fit
Not every investor is the right fit for project-level JVs. But for those who want direct, asset-specific exposure with a hands-on operator, the model works differently than a fund.
Accredited Individuals
Investors who meet SEC accredited investor thresholds and prefer direct deal exposure over packaged products. Looking for clear ownership and transparent reporting.
See How It WorksFamily Offices
Single- and multi-family offices allocating to direct real estate alongside operators they have direct line to. Project-specific entity structure fits the governance model.

US, Brazil, and Latin America-based investors with capital seeking US real estate exposure through a structure that supports cross-border tax and reporting needs.
See How It WorksOperator-Aligned Allocators
Investors who value direct operator access more than fund packaging. Want to ask hard questions, see real numbers, and stay close to execution decisions.
See How It WorksIf you are accredited, allocating to direct real estate, and want operator access — a JV LLC structure may be a better fit than a fund.
Your Real Options
Public REITs, Crowdfunding, Syndicated Funds, or a Direct JV LLC
Most allocators think the only real choice is a public REIT or a syndicated fund. The real decision has four paths — and the economics behave very differently across them.
| Public REIT | Crowdfunding Platform | Syndicated Fund | Direct JV LLC With Us | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What You Own | Shares of a listed company | An interest in a platform fund | An LP interest in a sponsor's fund | A Member interest in the project's own LLC |
| Asset-Level Visibility | Aggregated across many properties | Limited per-deal disclosure | Reported quarterly, sponsor-curated | Full project-level transparency |
| Operator Access | None | None | Annual investor letter; limited Q&A | Direct line to the operator on every project |
| Fee Layers | Public-company overhead, management | Platform fee + fund management + sponsor promote | Fund management + sponsor promote | Per-deal, disclosed in the JV agreement |
| Liquidity | Daily liquid (with public-market volatility) | Quarterly to illiquid | Multi-year illiquid | Project-duration; documented exit at deal level |
| Diversification | Wide, but shallow | Across platform deals | Across fund's portfolio | You decide which deals to enter |
| Typical Net Outcome | Public-market correlated returns | Fund-of-deals returns minus fees | Fund returns minus management + promote | Project-specific returns minus disclosed JV economics |
Why Investors Choose Us
Why Investors Work With Us Instead of Allocating to a Fund They’ll Never Hear From
Because the right operator should bring more than a pitch deck. They should bring execution, transparency, structure, and the ability to actually deliver the project.
Execution, Not Just Sponsorship
We are not a fund manager moving capital between sponsors. We are the operator running the project — site evaluation, planning, approvals, construction, delivery.
Integrated Capabilities
Development oversight, engineering coordination through Apice LLC, construction execution through Construa LLC, and project management under one operating structure.
Investor-Aligned Structure
Investors should understand the economics, milestones, protections, and decision rights before the project moves forward. No surprises, no hidden agendas.
Florida-Focused Experience
25+ years operating in the Florida market. We understand entitlement, design coordination, permitting, construction, and local execution.
Representative Opportunities
Examples of the Project Types We Structure as JV LLCs
Every deal is different. These examples show the types of projects where a JV LLC structure typically makes sense for capital investors.
Mixed-Use Redevelopment
Central Florida
Underutilized commercial or transitional parcel with the potential for a higher-value mixed-use concept. Strong location, structured as its own JV LLC.
Investor objective: Direct project exposure with operator alignment and clear exit.
Multifamily Development
Growth-Market Infill
Well-located parcel with market, scale, or density potential suited to a multifamily strategy. Investors join as Members of the project entity.
Investor objective: Allocate to a defined project rather than a blind-pool fund.
Hospitality & Franchise
Florida Tourist Markets
Branded hospitality and franchise opportunities with proven operators and predictable revenue models. Direct ownership in the operating entity.
Investor objective: Asset-specific allocation with documented operator track record.
Detailed deal economics and offering documents are shared with accredited investors after a qualified conversation.
The Process
How a JV LLC Investment Comes Together
From first deal review to final distribution — every step is structured, transparent, and professionally managed.
Deal Review
You review the project — site, market, program, capital stack, returns model, and operator track record. No cost, no obligation, no pressure.
Initial reviewQ&A With the Operator
Direct conversation with the team running the deal. Ask hard questions, walk through assumptions, request supporting documents.
Investor diligence windowJV LLC Membership
If the deal fits, you join as a Member of the project's JV LLC. Subscription documents, accreditation verification, and capital contribution.
Closing windowConstruction & Reporting
Quarterly project reports, draw documentation, milestone updates, and direct line to the operator throughout the construction window.
Project durationExit & Distribution
The completed project is sold or refinanced. Capital is returned per the JV waterfall, then profits are distributed to all Members on the disclosed schedule.
At project completionInvestor Protections
Structured to Protect the Investor — Not Just the Deal
A serious JV must be transparent before it is profitable. Investors should understand the structure, the milestones, and the decision points before committing capital.
Independent Valuation
Independent MAI-designated appraisals support project underwriting. Conservative loan-to-cost assumptions; sensitivities disclosed up front.
Project-Level Reporting
Quarterly reports with real-time project financials. Draw schedules, change orders, and operator commentary. You are never in the dark.
Defined Roles & Milestones
GMP contracts cap construction costs. Major decisions, capital calls, and member approval rights are clearly defined in the JV agreement.
Documented Exit
Exit strategy, hold period, and waterfall economics are disclosed before subscription. You know how the deal returns capital before you fund.
Honest About Risk
Every Real Estate Investment Has Risk. The Difference Is How It Is Managed.
We do not pretend risk does not exist. We believe it should be named, understood, and addressed through structure — not papered over with optimistic projections.
Planning & Approval Risk
Zoning, entitlement, and approval paths can affect timing, scope, and overall project viability. Apice LLC navigates this proactively from inside the team.
Construction & Cost Risk
Execution quality, budgeting discipline, and operator capability matter because they directly affect investor returns. GMP contracts protect against uncapped overruns.
Market Timing Risk
Demand, pricing, and financing conditions can shift while a project is in progress. We underwrite conservatively, not on optimistic projections.
Liquidity & Capital-Loss Risk
JV LLC interests are illiquid; investors should be prepared to hold for the project duration. All investments carry risk including possible loss of principal.
Common Concerns
What Investors Usually Ask About — And Why That Matters
Capital allocation decisions should come with hard questions. That is not a problem. It is part of doing this the right way.
“How is my capital protected?”
Investor capital is held in escrow until subscription targets are met. Each project is its own LLC; project assets stay separated from other projects and operating funds.
“Do I have to commit to multiple deals?”
No. Each deal is a separate JV LLC. You choose which projects to enter; there is no fund-level commitment or pooled obligation.
“How do I know the operator can deliver?”
Execution matters more than pitch language. That is why 25+ years of Florida experience, in-house engineering, and a vertically integrated platform are what we lead with — not promises.
“What if a deal isn’t the right fit?”
Not every project is right for every investor. Different risk profiles, different time horizons. We’ll tell you honestly when a deal isn’t a fit — before you commit.
