The Development Equity Partnership Program
Sterling Capital Group can provide up to 100 % of the equity capital (between 10% – 30% of the total cost), less transactional costs, for qualified real estate projects and developers/investors. The equity capital is provided in the form of a participating second trust deed with a preferred annual return on investment.

Advantages to the Developer/Investor
  • The Developer/Investor substantially reduces the amount of personal capital required to move projects forward.
  • The Developer/Investor is now in the position to be able to advance more projects with the same amount of capital.
  • The Developer/Investor can achieve a significant increase in total returns over and above the option of self funding or bringing in traditional Joint Venture Capital investors.
  • A Developer acting as the General Contractor on a project would receive a General Contacting fee for each project funded. Multiple projects would generate multiple fees.
  • Developing multiple projects concurrently can save construction costs in labor, materials, and overhead etc.

Advantages to the first trust deed lender

  • DEPP allows financial institutions to lend more capital into the market because quality deals
    that were previously lost due to a shortage of equity can now are pursued successfully.
  • DEPP provides additional security for the first trust deed lender, SCG, is standing behind the first trust deed lender protecting the first trust deed loan.
  • The first trust deed lender gets the benefit of an additional independent analysis of credit and projects risks.
  • The first trust deed lender can receive additional business due to the ongoing need of SCG clients to obtain debt financing
