Equity
We execute alternative and undiscovered capital solutions

We solve complex real estate funding needs

Matthews™ offers the entire suite of capital markets solutions, with tools to solve every real estate funding need. However, Matthews™ sets itself apart by focusing on EQUITY, partnered with a robust DEBT execution platform, not vice versa. While our competitors claim they play well in the equity space, most fall short when the rubber meets the road, using equity as a “hook” for your debt/stretch senior business.

A Key to Every Real Estate Door

Based on our outreach program, we have established equity relationships seeking platform investments, Co-GP opportunities, secondaries/recapitalizations, Preferred equity and LP common equity, for both one-off and programmatic joint-ventures. Moreover, as capital market experts, we work on all asset classes, all risk profiles (development, value-add, core-plus and core) throughout the country, focusing on the top 30 MSAs in the United States. We have had the pleasure of working on multifamily, office, retail, senior housing, student housing, industrial, hospitality, medical office and resort projects just to name a few, across the risk spectrum. Given our up-front work talking with capital groups, we have quickly become the go-to group for Opportunity Zone capital raise.

Investor Relations

Matthews™ prides itself on its pursuit in cultivating capital relationships. Our mission is to identify and understand each group’s investment mandate including who they are, what type of investments they are targeting, and work to maintain indestructible relationships with each group. Our team’s deep understanding of our capital network allows us to create a bespoke approach to equity placement engagements.

Scoring

In concert with six MBA students from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, we developed a proprietary, data-driven scoring system to screen the deals we take to market. Based on consultations with our capital relationships, we identified 23 parameters weighted across three primary categories: Project Financial Performance, Project Market/Demographics, and Sponsor Pedigree/Experience. Using market data, sponsor-provided information, and third-party sources, the program compares that information against a normal distribution producing a final Probability Score. The Score provides us with an objective indication of which deals are financeable (or are a “pass” for Matthews™). While not a substitute for an investor’s own underwriting and diligence, we believe our capital relationships appreciate a filter before a deal reaches their inbox.
