AREC raises $390 million to finance lot and land deals for builders
Why this matters
Land continues to behave as the highest-conviction long-duration bet in CRE. In supply-constrained luxury markets, replacement-cost-positive entitlements remain scarce; in growth-corridor exurbs, sponsors with patient capital are accumulating positions ahead of the next residential or industrial pipeline. The trade is a basis call, not an income call, and continues to attract family-office and high-net-worth capital that can hold through the cycle.
