Grow your business.
We'll solve the real estate.
For multi-site operators with a proven concept who want to keep growing without giving up the business. From your second location to your hundredth.
How We Work
Every operator's situation is different. We start by understanding yours, then structure the right deal around it.
We learn your situation.
How many locations do you want to be at in three years, and what's actually slowing you down? We listen before we propose. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you that too.
We structure the right deal.
Sale-leaseback to unlock capital from locations you already own. New development for the ones you don't. The structure follows your growth plan, not ours.
We manage the build.
Site selection, design, permitting, vendor procurement, project oversight. Our development team runs the process start to finish. You review and approve.
We handle the capital.
Up to 100% of project costs funded by Haven. Your capital stays in operations.
You keep growing.
You take occupancy under a long-term lease. The process is repeatable. Second location, tenth location, same team, same discipline, any market.

What We Won't Do
You've probably been pitched by someone who promised everything and delivered a term sheet six months later.
- We won't hand you capital and walk away.Plenty of firms will write you a check and wish you luck with the build. We put our development team on every project we fund. Capital without execution is half a solution.
- We won't waste your time.Two weeks. That's our decision window. Yes, no, or here's what needs to change. You've got locations to open.
- We won't pretend every deal is a Haven deal.If the unit economics don't work or the timeline doesn't fit, we'll say so early. No one benefits from a forced deal.
- We won't hand you off.The team you meet is the team that delivers. Same people from the first conversation through certificate of occupancy.
Who We Are
Haven is based in Franklin, Tennessee. We fund projects, manage the build, and own the real estate so operators don't have to. Sale-leasebacks, new development, project management. Structured around what you actually need.
Our team came from STORE Capital, Jones Day, and PennyMac. We spent years doing billion-dollar deals for public REITs. We chose to rebuild that playbook for the operator running 2 to 100 locations who wants to keep growing without giving up the business.

You've hit the wall. You know the one.
Eventually, the math changes. The capital tools that got you here aren't the ones that get you to the next site. The cost of growth keeps climbing. You don't want to bring in equity, and you don't want to slow down.
You own the real estate and want to unlock it
Sale-leaseback converts the equity trapped in locations you already own into operating capital. You keep the lease. We buy the property. Your balance sheet gets lighter.
You need new locations built
We acquire the property, manage the design and construction, and deliver a facility built to your specs. You take occupancy under a long-term lease. Construction capital structured deal by deal — most projects fully funded by Haven.
You're between 2 and 100 locations
Big enough to have proven the concept. Growing fast enough that the real estate is the bottleneck, not the operations.
You want a decision, not a process
Two-week decision window. One team from start to finish. We'll tell you if we're the right fit, and if we're not, we'll tell you why.
Not there yet? No problem. If this sounds like you in a year, we'll be here. And if it never does, that's fine too.
