Brochure Summary

Overview

AECOM-Canyon Partners Real Estate Fund Advisors LLC (“AECOM-Canyon” or the “Adviser”) is a joint venture between AECOM Capital Real Estate, LLC (“ACRE”) and Canyon Partners Real Estate LLC (“CPRE” and together with ACRE, the “Sponsors”). AECOM-Canyon will provide discretionary advisory services to private investment vehicles (referred to hereinafter as a “Fund” or a “Client” or collectively as “Funds” or “Clients”). As of December 2022, AECOM-Canyon had three (3) Clients and regulatory assets under management of approximately $608 million. The Adviser will focus on capital appreciation primarily by investing in co-general partner equity (“Co-GP Equity”) opportunities in development and value-add commercial real estate projects located in the top ~25 markets across the United States. The Adviser will invest in high-quality, large scale “build- to-core” development projects that the Adviser believes have significant growth potential and/or strong long-term prospects for value creation. The term “Co-GP Equity”, sometimes known as “Co-Developer Equity”, refers to a part of the capital stack of a real estate project created when two general partners (“Co-GPs” or “Co-Developers”) enter into a joint venture (an “Operating Partner JV”) in order to co-develop and jointly lead the execution of a single real estate joint venture project (which may include multiple underlying properties) (a “Project JV”). (Typically, a Fund’s Operating Partner JVs will seek passive investment capital (i.e., capital with no control rights over project execution) for the Project JV that will generally be provided by a “Project LP”. In some cases, the Project JV may be a co-investment vehicle comprised of Fund investors.) While the terms of each Project JV are negotiated on a deal-by-deal basis, Co-GPs generally receive enhanced economics in exchange for bringing value to a Project JV in the form of complementary expertise and resources, and for contributing to the Project JV’s development responsibilities and obligations. Co-GP contributions may include any or all of the following: (a) identifying and sourcing the real estate development opportunity, (b) underwriting the real estate development, (c) negotiating a purchase and sale agreement to secure the real estate development, (d) conducting due diligence, (e) formulating the real estate development’s business plan, (f) securing financing for the real estate development, (g) providing any guarantees required by lenders, (h) closing the transaction, (i) managing the development post-closing, (j) executing the development’s business plan, which may include pre-development work, construction/renovation and/or leasing and stabilization, (k) managing the sales and marketing process for the realization or disposition of the developed real estate asset and (l) executing on the realization or disposition of the developed real estate asset in order to harvest returns. The Adviser will generally seek to partner with an experienced Co-GP Partner to form and capitalize an Operating Partner JV that will operate each project through a Project JV, but, in some instances, a Fund may act as the sole operating partner. A Fund will generally hold its interest in the Operating Partner JV through a special purpose entity formed for the purpose of serving as a Co-GP in the Operating Partner JV (the “Fund Co-GP SPE”). In addition, where practicable, the Adviser will seek to make arrangements with Co-GP Partners in particular Project JVs to offer certain Fund investors (as determined in the Adviser’s sole discretion) (“LP Co-Investors”) the opportunity to make investments in those Project JVs (“Co-Investments”) as traditional limited partners (“LP Equity”). Advisory services are generally not tailored to the individual needs of Fund investors and Fund investors are generally not permitted to impose restrictions on investing in certain investments or types of investments. The Adviser As noted above, the Adviser is a joint
venture between ACRE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AECOM Capital, Inc. (“ACAP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AECOM (NYSE:ACM) (“AECOM”), and CPRE.
