Ground Lease Acquisitions

A Better Way to Unlock Land Capital

SANTÉ Realty Investments partners with property owners and building buyers to structure ground lease transactions that create liquidity, reduce capital requirements, and deliver long-term value — with minimal operational requirements.

Two Pathways to a Ground Lease

Whether you currently own a property or are acquiring one, SANTÉ can structure a ground lease that works for your objectives.

Pathway A

Sale-Leaseback for Property Owners

You own a commercial property (land + building)

SANTÉ purchases the land and leases it back to you long-term

You receive immediate capital liquidity while retaining full operational control of your building

Minimal covenants: simply pay property taxes and maintain insurance

Typical lease terms: 50–99 years with rent escalation provisions

Ideal for: Retail centers, office buildings, industrial facilities, hotels, and other stabilized commercial assets

Pathway B

Simultaneous Close for Building Buyers

You're acquiring a commercial property and want to reduce your equity requirement

SANTÉ purchases the land simultaneously at closing

You acquire the leasehold estate (building improvements) at a significantly reduced price

SANTÉ's passive approach: no interference with your operations or business decisions

Minimal covenants: pay property taxes and maintain insurance

Ideal for: Investors, developers, and owner-operators acquiring stabilized commercial assets
