Clark Equity Capital (CEC) offers a consistent source of equity financing for opportunistic development, repositioning and value-added acquisition opportunities that will yield attractive, risk-adjusted returns. We partner with qualified developers who have local market knowledge and experience, enabling them to seize new opportunities in a timely fashion and/or add value to existing projects.

We will consider a variety of entrepreneurial real estate investment opportunities anywhere within the continental United States. Typically, we provide up to 90% of the required equity for development projects. Reasonable development and property management fees are acceptable. Our primary focus is to build, stabilize and refinance for the long-term production of income. After return of equity and a preferred return thereon, additional profits will be distributed according to an agreed ownership structure accounting for the developer’s promoted interest.

Beyond capital, we bring significant experience, strategic knowledge, flexibility, the ability to react quickly, financial ingenuity, a strong reputation, and the ability to secure uniquely favorable debt financing.
