Ever wondered how professional real estate investors get to buy property at wholesale prices?
The concept behind our Co-Developer investment strategy is to allow private individuals to invest in new real estate at wholesale prices just like the super rich. The aim is to allow our clients to buy high quality real estate in high quality areas with strong growth prospects for a total investment that is significantly less than the market value of the property. This is achieved by being one of a small group of Co-Developers in a boutique development.

Where do you want to be?
What is Co-Developer?
• Private investors Co-Develop an investment to produce ABOVE AVERAGE returns
by investing in an asset at WHOLESALE prices that are valued at RETAIL values.
• UGC establishes a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) as development structure.
• Investors become shareholders of SPV through contribution of capital of between
est. $80,000 to $120,000
• SPV acquires development site, and develops site by pooling funds with other
investors in a boutique development (b/w 8 - 20 units or townhouses) and secures
construction finance.
• Investors become the developers with a view to owning a property at the end.
Investors keep the developer margin.
