Buy · Build out · Lease back

Capture the value you create.

Buy the building your business needs, fit it out for your operation, then sell it on a long-term leaseback. You keep the space and take home the value created along the way, not the landlord.

Why BuytoSuit

When you lease, the landlord keeps the upside

A building bought at owner-user pricing, improved for a specific operation, and occupied on a long-term lease is worth more than what was paid for it. In a typical lease, that gain belongs to the landlord.

BuytoSuit puts it on your side of the table. You buy and build out the building, then sell it to Palisades Property Trust, our affiliated investment platform, while signing a long-term lease back. You stay in a facility made for you, recover your capital, and keep the difference.

Because the buyer is lined up from the start, you aren't left hoping the market shows up when the build-out is done.

Acquisition Finance

Short-term debt and optional co-investment equity to fund the purchase and build-out, so little of your operating cash is tied up.

Budgets, bids, permits, and site oversight for tenant improvements, systems upgrades, and code work, whatever the property type.
