Building Value From the Ground Up

Stokes Capital Management provides the capital that Southeast developers need but can no longer access. Traditional banks have largely exited horizontal land development lending, leaving regional developers without financing for land acquisition, entitlements, and infrastructure. We fill that gap, funding every phase of horizontal development from raw land purchase through builder-ready lot delivery.

Based in Jacksonville, Florida, our deal flow comes directly from a developer network built over five decades in Northeast Florida and the Carolinas. Developers bring us opportunities before they reach the open market. We deploy capital, they execute development, and we share in the profits, a structure that has delivered consistent, proven results across 23 funded projects.

Investment Thesis

Banks have exited horizontal land development, creating a capital gap and premium returns for private lenders
100% land financing + equity participation captures both lending income and development upside
50-year developer network delivers off-market deal flow before opportunities reach the broader market
First-lien position on tangible land assets provides downside protection throughout the development cycle
Horizontal development captures value creation before vertical construction risk
Southeast population growth and persistent housing undersupply drive sustained lot demand

Our Strategy

A proven three-phase approach to creating value through horizontal development.

Land Acquisition

Leveraging 25+ years of relationships in Northeast Florida and the Southeast to identify undervalued land parcels in high-growth corridors before they reach the open market.

Horizontal Development

Entitling, engineering, and installing infrastructure, such as roads, utilities, stormwater management, to transform raw land into finished, builder-ready residential and multifamily lots.

Value Creation

Delivering entitled, infrastructure-ready lots to national and regional homebuilders, generating returns through strategic lot sales, joint ventures, and master-planned community partnerships.
