What is land banking?

Land Banking is the large-scale acquisition and holding of undeveloped land strategically located in the path of growth outside major urban centers. For more information, visit Walton International.

Our Strategy: Buy low. Wait. Sell high.

What increases land's value? In our experience, most real estate investment takes place after development on the land occurs. Yet, based on our experience, land has its largest value increase between its undeveloped state and the stage after the entitlement and concept planning process—when developers and businesses purchase it (as illustrated by the first two phases of the Real Estate Life Cycle).* 

As city centers and corridors expand, we have seen how the demand for land directly in the path of growth increases dramatically—as does its value to those wanting to develop it for residential, commercial and industrial use. 

Land Banking works by buying large parcels of this undeveloped land with the intent of selling when future demand increases its value. Investment products are structured to allow the participation of qualified investors. 

Our Experience: 29 years, 15.88%*.

The expert team has successfully anticipated future land demand in North American urban centers. We perform surveys, studies and market correlations, often for years, before acquiring the land. Then we strategically ready the land. All of this is done with the aim to eventually sell the land for a higher price. For more information, visit Walton International.
