Equity-Based Investment Opportunities

Our Investment Model

Our “Develop-and-Hold Strategy” ​allows investors to participate in long-term wealth creation while addressing the housing crisis.

We secure short-term financing through private lending for property acquisition and construction, then transition to long-term takeout financing through CMHC MLI Select upon stabilization. Investors remain equity partners in each development for 7-10 years, allowing their investment to compound through appreciation, equity growth, and future refinancing or sale events. Investors have the flexibility to exit or continue holding their stake as value builds over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What types of properties does ONE Development focus on?

We specialize in residential infill developments in high-demand areas, targeting properties with the right lot size and zoning to sever and build multiplexes with a minimum of 8-10 units or more.

What is the minimum investment required?

The minimum investment varies by project. We encourage investors to contact us directly to discuss available opportunities and capital requirements.

Do I receive cash distributions from rental income?

Our investment model is focused on equity ownership and long-term appreciation rather than short-term cash flow. Investors realize returns through asset appreciation, refinancing, or exit strategies. Some deals may offer structured payouts, depending on project specifics.

How long is the typical investment term?

Investment timelines vary by project. Typically, our developments follow a 24-month cycle from acquisition to stabilization, at which point takeout financing is secured. Investors then have the option to remain equity partners for 7-10 years, benefiting from long-term appreciation, refinancing opportunities, and market growth.

What role do investors play in the project?

Investors participate as passive Limited Partners (LPs) with no day-to-day management responsibilities. In some cases, investors may act as guarantors to secure financing. Their commitment as guarantors lasts only until stabilization, at which point they are released from their obligations. At takeout financing, they can exit with a payout or remain as equity partners.

How does ONE Development ensure transparency for investors?

We provide regular investor updates and ongoing project insights. Our priority is to maintain clear, open communication so investors can track their capital and long-term growth.

Are there opportunities for direct involvement in projects?

We welcome discussions about how investors can be directly involved in our projects, primarily as Limited Partners (LPs) providing capital. In certain cases, investors may also participate as guarantors, securing financing in exchange for an equity stake in the property. This allows all partners to build long-term wealth through ownership, appreciation, and future refinancing or sale opportunities.
