NOTABLE TRANSACTIONS – DETAIL
Pierce Education Properties Entity Level Venture Capital
Deal:
Profile:
Start-up entity level capitalization for an
education-related real estate development
and student housing acquisition campaign.
Size:
$25,000,000 equity operating capital
commitment
Date Closed: September 2007
Challenge:
An unusual, complicated business plan focused on an esoteric specialization spanning two
business platforms: master planned university campus development and student housing
acquisition. Sponsor had a 5 year business plan based entirely on one prior transaction with
no future capitalization capability.
Solution:
Provided a 5 year equity venture capitalization of both business platforms. This funded the
full operational, overhead, and investment expenses of the Client going forward. The Client
maintains majority control subject to performance guidelines. The capital was provided
through the investment management entity of one of the wealthiest private individuals in the
US.

NOTABLE TRANSACTIONS – DETAIL
Southgate Land Loan
Deal:
Land Acquisition for Retail Development
Profile:
92% leverage non-recourse acquisition
of a 30-acre land parcel in Southgate, CA
(infill L.A.) to be developed into a 600,000+
SF retail center
Size:
$43,058,000
Date Closed: November 2006
Challenge:
No entitlements; no comparables. City had gone B/K, and Sponsor needed a non-
recourse land loan that would include 18 months to entitle the project.
Solution:
Arranged a 92% loan-to-cost, non-recourse land loan and secured the additional
leverage through assignment of a unique put-option contract structure negotiated with
the City. This allowed the City to avoid credit impacts on their balance sheet and
eliminated the Client’s risk of design and entitlement approvals prior to close.
Execution:
Sponsor had unsuccessfully marketed the opportunity for 5 months before
retaining Mr. White – who completed the deal within 10 days of engagement.
Comments: This urban-infill, media-enriched design will be one of the largest shopping centers
to be completed in the LA Metro area in 2009-2010.

Master Development Corporation
Deal:
Discretionary Joint Venture Equity
Profile:
First targeted “Boutique” Discretionary
raise defined by targeting a specific
regional market and asset class for a
single investor.
Size:
$50,000,000
Date Closed: October 2006
Challenge:
Small size for a first fund execution. The Client required non-crossed execution within
the fund (every investment stands alone) and conforming debt facility.
Solution:
Structured a three-pronged investment strategy (land acquisition, vertical
development, and existing acquisitions) within a single fund. Sourced debt
financing from a single capital source to complement this unique structure.
Execution:
The fund was capitalized by a single Pension Trust investor; the debt was sourced
through a correspondent Life Company – which had never previously engaged this type
of debt structure.
Comments: One fund integrated three objectives that the Client had previously allocated among 4-5
dierent equity partners.

core plus and value-add multi-family
properties nationwide
Size:
$100 Million initial commitment; increased
to $200 Million
Date Closed: June 2006
Challenge:
First program for the Client. Client wanted to reduce cost of capital below existing Life
Company partners with 5% maximum co-invest. Client also wanted to book profits
individually on deals cleared prior to 10 year cross collateralized promote structure.
Solution:
New program delivered cost of capital that was compelling and additionally created a
mechanism by which the Client can realize incentive fees on individual deals.
Comments: The program structure subsequently extended to include the Clients’ expansion into
LIHTC product and hospitality assets as a result of flexibility created in the structure.

date. Industrial portfolio was only 65% occupied at time of acquisition and a single

delivered a significantly more attractive incentive compensation structure to the client.
Execution:
Went to market in January and closed the deal in April.
Comments: Largest single industrial transaction in the state of Colorado (capitalization).

Solution:

component of this complex hadn’t been adjusted in 5 years! A new regional
hospital with 4000 jobs just ¼ mile from the project would start construction 3
months after close. The Seller had not discovered either opportunity.
