Texas Land Fund — Entitlements & Land Value Creation

Cotlan Capital is launching a Texas-focused land fund designed for accredited investors seeking exposure to land value creation through disciplined acquisition and entitlement execution.

We invest exclusively in land and advance each tract through project definition and entitlement milestones to position it for sale to builders and developers across residential and commercial end markets. We do not perform vertical construction.

What We Do

Acquire Texas Land at Disciplined Basis

We pursue land acquisitions where basis, access, utilities, jurisdiction, and demand drivers support a clear entitlement path and a definable buyer pool.

Define the Project & Execution Path

We work with planners and engineers to define the project concept, density and use strategy, infrastructure approach, and a practical timeline for approvals—so buyers can step into a well-defined plan.

Advance Entitlements to De-Risk the Asset

We pursue zoning, platting, and permitting milestones that improve certainty and marketability. Progress is tracked against defined deliverables and communicated through investor reporting.

What We Invest In

Target Land Profiles

  • Residential development tracts with a clear path to approvals and lot demand
  • Commercial development sites aligned with local growth and infrastructure
  • Infill or edge-of-growth land where entitlement work unlocks value
  • Assemblies where a unified plan improves density, access, or marketability

Strategy Boundaries

  • Land-only investment mandate
  • No vertical construction or general contractor scope
  • Value created through basis discipline and entitlement progress
  • Clear disposition pathways to builders and developers

Our objective is to deliver land that is better defined, better approved, and more financeable for the next owner.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Underwrite & Acquire

    We evaluate basis, access, utilities, jurisdiction, entitlement feasibility, and buyer demand—then acquire with a disciplined downside plan.

  2. 2

    Plan & Entitle

    We coordinate planning and engineering to define the project and pursue approvals that improve certainty and marketability.

  3. 3

    Package for Disposition

    We compile a clean, buyer-ready package—maps, approvals, timelines, and supporting materials—so builders and developers can move directly into execution.

  4. 4

    Sell to Builders & Developers

    We exit through disposition of entitled (or partially entitled) land to groups positioned to perform development.

Investor Discipline

What We Prioritize

  • Disciplined basis and downside protection
  • Jurisdiction feasibility and a clear entitlement path
  • Defined buyer universe and realistic exit scenarios
  • Milestone-based execution and transparent reporting
  • Repeatable process over speculative underwriting

Exit Strategy

Primary exits include:

  • Disposition to homebuilders for residential development
  • Disposition to commercial developers for retail, industrial, or mixed-use sites
  • Disposition to land developers assembling larger projects

We focus on delivering land with improved approvals and clarity—reducing friction for the next stage of development.
