Acquire Texas Land at Disciplined Basis
We identify land with upside and pursue acquisitions where pricing, jurisdiction, access, utilities, and demand drivers support a realistic entitlement path and a definable buyer universe.
COTLAN CAPITAL
Private equity focused on Texas land value creation.
Cotlan Capital is a Texas-based private equity group focused on land acquisitions and entitlement execution for accredited investors. We acquire land at disciplined basis, advance approvals and site plans to reduce uncertainty, and position assets for sale to builders and developers across residential and commercial end markets. We do not perform vertical construction.
Our role is to control land, de-risk execution through entitlements, and deliver a buyer-ready asset—without taking construction risk.
We identify land with upside and pursue acquisitions where pricing, jurisdiction, access, utilities, and demand drivers support a realistic entitlement path and a definable buyer universe.
We coordinate planning and engineering to define use, density, access, and infrastructure approach—then pursue zoning, platting, and permitting milestones that improve certainty and marketability.
We compile a clean, buyer-ready package—site concepts, approvals status, maps, timelines, and supporting materials—so downstream buyers can move directly into execution.
We target Texas land where entitlement progress can unlock value, and we underwrite feasibility, jurisdiction, utilities, access, and exits.
We negotiate terms and move under contract to create the runway for diligence and definition of the entitlement strategy.
With the asset controlled, we raise capital through proper structures supported by counsel and offering documents as applicable. Investors participate alongside a disciplined, asset-backed strategy.
We coordinate engineering and entitlements to improve certainty. We do not perform vertical construction.
We refine use and phasing and may sell portions of larger tracts (e.g., carve-outs for residential, commercial pads, or multifamily sites), improving overall pricing and liquidity.
We sell entitled or partially entitled land to groups positioned to execute development, delivering a clean path to the next stage.
We operate transparently and ethically, with a long-term reputation mindset.
We prioritize basis, feasibility, and downside protection over aggressive assumptions.
We favor defined milestones, practical timelines, and clean communication.
We report consistently and measure progress against real deliverables—not assumptions.
Land value is created in the details: jurisdiction, utilities, access, and approvals sequencing.
We prioritize repeatable process and measurable outcomes over volume or hype.
Cotlan Capital was built around a simple observation: land deals don’t fail because the thesis is wrong—they fail because execution isn’t defined. Pricing gets disconnected from approvals, timelines get assumed, and the buyer at exit is treated as an afterthought.
We structured our platform to solve for that. We control land at disciplined basis, define a realistic project path with planners and engineers, and advance the entitlements that reduce uncertainty and increase marketability. Our objective is to deliver a buyer-ready asset with clear use, clear approvals status, and a clear exit thesis.
We are selective by design. We focus on Texas, we focus on land, and we focus on outcomes that are driven by execution—not financial engineering.
