One size
does not fit all

We believe in custom-tailored solutions. Belay is flexible and entrepreneurial, tailoring its programmatic joint venture structures to meet the objectives of our operating partners. We seek operating partners with proven real estate execution and sourcing capabilities. Our structures allow operators to continue focusing on the real estate and do not rely on the growth of an operator’s platform or require them to become a fund manager to succeed. By avoiding these pressures, Belay accesses a significantly larger pool of potential operating partners and avoids negative selection hat may provide multiple revenue streams, including LP and GP economics, while minimizing platform-level liability. In all cases, we seek to create mutually beneficial structures that foster long-term partnerships.
