Since its inception in the late 1970s, Avanti has become one of the nation’s largest and most successful investment firms dedicated exclusively to land investment, development, and finance. Avanti's ten institutional funds, operating under the Avanti Strategic Land Investors (ASLI) banner since 1992, and capitalized by major endowments, foundations, pension plans, and private investors, have committed over $1.6 billion to residential, commercial, and industrial land in more than 25 of the fastest growing US markets.

Opportunities in Land Investment

After enduring the painful legacy of overbuilding, America is now underbuilding – even as the demand for housing accelerates. This gap between supply and demand is pronounced. Based on historical 15-year averages, housing starts are well below the supply needed to meet normal levels of demand in many of Avanti’s large, economically diverse and rapidly growing target markets.

The strength in the housing market is translating into demand for land of all kinds. While the fundamentals in housing and commercial real estate continue to improve, there remains a significant number of motivated sellers of well-located medium term land.

As markets strengthen toward normal historical trends, Avanti will continue to reap strong risk-adjusted returns and capital multiples acquiring properties at substantial discounts from user values.
