Stokes Capital Management was founded to provide accredited investors access to institutional-quality real estate development opportunities in the Southeast United States. Our mission is straightforward: acquire strategically located land, develop the horizontal infrastructure that communities need, and deliver exceptional risk-adjusted returns to our partners.
We believe that horizontal development, the process of entitling, engineering, and installing infrastructure on raw land, represents one of the most compelling risk-return profiles in real estate. By focusing on the development stage before vertical construction, we capture significant value creation while managing downside risk through tangible, appreciating land assets.
Our interests are aligned with our investors. The principals of Stokes Capital Management invest meaningful personal capital alongside every fund, ensuring that our incentives are directly tied to performance.
A disciplined, three-stage process refined over decades of development experience.
We target parcels in high-growth corridors with clear paths to entitlement, strong builder demand, and favorable infrastructure access. Our focus is on markets with population growth exceeding the national average, employment diversification, and demonstrated housing supply gaps.
We provide 100% land financing at 8-12% accruing interest and fund development through milestone-based draw schedules, combined with 50/50 JV equity participation. Our developer partners manage execution: zoning, entitlements, civil engineering, permitting, and infrastructure construction to deliver finished, builder-ready lots.
Six decades of relationships with local jurisdictions, planning boards, and contractors across FL, GA, NC, and SC give our partnerships a significant edge in navigating the entitlement process.
We maintain flexible exit options to maximize returns and adapt to market conditions. Primary exit channels include finished lot sales to national and regional homebuilders, joint venture development partnerships, and entitled land sales to institutional buyers.
This diversified approach allows us to optimize timing and pricing across market cycles.
