Pacific Capital Development Fund

Strategic equity investments in high-quality real estate development projects.

Executive Summary

The Pacific Capital Real Estate Development Fund provides investors with access to equity and structured equity investments in development and value-add real estate opportunities across Western Canada. The fund partners with experienced developers to participate in high-quality residential, industrial, retail, and mixed-use projects in strong growth markets.

Through disciplined underwriting, strategic capital structuring, and active project oversight, the fund aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns while maintaining strong alignment between developer and investor interests.

Investment Strategy

The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of development-stage projects and value-add real estate opportunities across British Columbia and selectively in Alberta. Investments may include land development, multifamily housing, purpose-built rental properties, industrial assets, and mixed-use developments located in strong urban and suburban markets.

Pacific Capital seeks opportunities through established developer relationships and local market networks, with many investments sourced off-market or through distressed situations. The fund focuses on bridging the equity gap between developer capital and construction financing, generating value through entitlements, disciplined construction execution, and strategic exits through sale, refinancing, or stabilization.
