A repeatable joint venture process, built for capital exposure efficiency and our partners' incentives optimized with the project's success.
The same four stages, applied on every development regardless of market or scale.
A landowner or local partner brings a site, typically subject to planning, rather than a completed acquisition. The owner remains part of the project instead of taking a cash sale.
We agree a profit share with the landowner and local partner, usually 25 to 50 percent, with our own capital invested kept to a minimum against the land value.
Local senior debt is secured ahead of construction, conditional on planning consent. Where a hotel or leisure brand is involved, an operator is appointed at this stage.
The development is built out, sales or lettings repay debt and return equity, and remaining profit is distributed across the joint venture in line with the agreed share.
Every opportunity is measured against the same criteria before capital is committed.
The existing owner remains in the project with a direct share of profit, keeping their interest tied to the outcome rather than an upfront price.
Finance available in-market ahead of construction, so our own capital exposure stays limited to the pre-planning and structuring stage.
A partner with planning knowledge, finance relationships, and operating experience specific to that market and asset type.
Proximity to protected landscapes, established schools, direct flight access, or a scarcity of comparable sites, not a general market up-cycle.
A defined route to repay debt and return equity, whether through residential sales, a hotel operator sale, or a stabilised-year refinance.
Structures where planning, land, and debt combine to minimise the cash required from Hamilton Portfolio and our co-investors.
Landowners, local partners, and investors are welcome to get in touch directly. We review every introduction against the criteria above.
