When to Engage the Firm
Lighthouse Land Advisory is engaged at the point where land strategy, deal structure, public process, and financial clarity become critical to a project's outcome — before terms are set, not after a deal has stalled.
Engagement Formats
Project-based advisory, ongoing fractional asset oversight, or negotiation-specific representation, structured to the client's need.
Outcomes
Defensible economics, executable transaction structures, and negotiated outcomes aligned with each client's strategic goals.
Coordination
Close collaboration with legal counsel, agency staff, lenders, and development partners throughout the engagement.
Ground Lease Strategy & Advisory
Lighthouse Land Advisory provides specialized advisory services for new and existing ground lease transactions involving both fee ownership and leasehold interests. We assist clients in evaluating lease structure, term, rent provisions, financeability, and disposition considerations so they can make informed decisions in transactions shaped by long-term land control constraints.
Example Scope
- Structuring new ground leases for development and redevelopment projects
- Evaluating existing ground leases, including rent reset and renewal terms
- Advising fee owners and leasehold interests on financeability and refinance options
- Assessing disposition strategy under existing lease constraints
Public-Private Partnership Structuring & Advisory
We help public agencies and private partners structure and advance public-private partnerships for land, facility, and infrastructure-related projects. Our advisory work focuses on transaction strategy, role and risk allocation, procurement support, and coordination of financial and contractual frameworks so P3 initiatives are transparent, defensible, and capable of moving toward implementation.
Example Scope
- Concept development and feasibility for public-private structures
- Risk allocation and governance framework design
- Solicitation and procurement process support (RFQ/RFP)
- Negotiation strategy with public sponsors and private partners
Development Feasibility & Delivery Strategy
Lighthouse Land Advisory supports clients in the early stages of development and redevelopment by evaluating feasibility, delivery options, and implementation strategy. We assess program concepts, phasing, entitlement pathways, and partnership structures so clients can advance projects that are financially sound, executable, and consistent with their objectives and risk tolerance.
Example Scope
- Feasibility testing for proposed development and redevelopment programs
- Phasing and delivery model recommendations
- Entitlement pathway planning, including CEQA and Coastal Act considerations
- Early-stage capital and risk framework development
Complex Lease & Negotiation Advisory
We advise owners, tenants, public agencies, and institutions on complex commercial lease and negotiation matters where economics, structure, and risk allocation must be carefully managed. Our work includes new leases, renewals, restructures, and other high-stakes negotiations, with a focus on improving business terms, reducing exposure, and aligning agreements with each client's strategic goals.
Example Scope
- Lease negotiation for landlords, tenants, and public agencies
- Lease renewal and restructuring strategy
- Procurement-related and solicitation-driven negotiations
- Risk and liability review in coordination with legal counsel
Portfolio & Fractional Asset Advisory
Lighthouse Land Advisory provides ownership-side portfolio and fractional asset advisory for clients who need disciplined, institutional-grade oversight without building a full internal team. We help clients evaluate asset performance, clarify investment priorities, and support hold, sell, recapitalization, and repositioning decisions so portfolio strategy remains aligned with long-term objectives.
Example Scope
- Ongoing fractional asset management for owners without in-house teams
- Portfolio performance review and reporting
- Hold, sell, and recapitalization analysis
- Repositioning and asset improvement strategy
