Property Joint Ventures

A real estate joint venture is an arrangement between two or more investors that agree to work together, contribute capital and pool their expertise and resources to undertake a commercial property development or investment project.

A joint venture is a way for the JV partners to spread and dilute risk, since the joint venture partners will each contribute to the initial investment and will share any on-going liability for the real estate project. By joining forces, no party takes on the full burden of funding, acquiring or developing the property.

The various JV parties will participate and contribute in different ways, whether by providing secure funding or capital contribution, tangible assets such as land, or intangible assets such as industry expertise, connections and reputation/brand.

Despite working cooperatively in a real estate joint venture, each party to the JV agreement maintains their own unique business identity and remains as their own entity.

Real estate joint ventures continue to be popular among real estate investors as a route into new markets and sectors.
