The Engagement Ladder
Most relationships with Pacific Flyway begin with a single conversation about a specific deal, market thesis, or capital question. The engagement scales as trust and shared understanding grow. Most clients begin at the Conversation or Preliminary Analysis level; Pacific Flyway sequences advisory work first, proves value, and earns the right to be considered for principal engagement on subsequent deals.
| Engagement | What It Is | Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Conversation | A first meeting to understand your deal, market thesis, or capital question. We listen first, then share what we'd be looking at. | No cost · up to 45 min |
| Preliminary Analysis | A 1-to-2-page written observation on a specific site, deal, or market, the artifact that establishes whether a fuller engagement is worth either party's time. | Fixed fee / hourly · 3-5 days |
| Advisory Engagement | Paid feasibility studies, pro forma development, entitlement roadmaps, retail feasibility, lender-package preparation, capital-stack design. Fixed-fee, scoped to the question. | Fixed fee · 2-4 weeks |
| Development / CM / Owner's Rep | Pacific Flyway acts as your owner's representative across pre-development and execution: monthly reporting, lender and equity-partner management, GC oversight, stabilization through disposition. | Retainer or % of TDC · 12-36 mo |
| Fee Development & Co-GP | Pacific Flyway takes the full sponsor role: sourcing, capital-stack assembly, entitlement, execution through stabilization or sale. Aligned through co-investment, base fees, and promote. | Acq + dev + asset-mgmt fee & promote · 24-48 mo |
Four Modes of Engagement
Fee development, co-GP partnership, advisory engagement, and principal investment are four compensation structures around a single practice. The expertise that finds the deal, underwrites it, entitles it, and builds it is delivered identically across all four modes, what changes is whose capital sits in the deal, and the level of risk-share the relationship calls for.
Principal
We invest. We operate.
Pacific Flyway acquires sites, structures the capital stack, manages execution, and holds the asset on its own balance sheet or through programmatic relationships with select capital partners. Sponsor co-investment on every deal aligns our interests with the LP capital we serve.
Co-GP / JV Partner
We sponsor. You fund.
Pacific Flyway acts as the operating GP on a joint-venture deal. We source or contribute the opportunity, structure the capital stack, manage entitlement and execution through stabilization, and align through promote.
Engaged by family offices, HNW principals, and institutional LPs who want direct exposure to a thesis they cannot operate themselves.
Fee Developer
You own. We execute.
Pacific Flyway takes the developer seat on a deal you own or control. We arrange the capital stack, manage entitlement and construction, deliver stabilization, and act as the fiduciary on the asset through disposition. Compensation is a base development fee, an acquisition fee, asset management during stabilization, and optional promote.
Engaged by property owners, family offices that have acquired land, lenders working out an asset, and capital partners who want operating discipline without an in-house development team.
Advisor
We deliver discrete written work.
Pacific Flyway delivers fixed-fee or retained advisory: feasibility studies, pro forma development, entitlement roadmaps, retail feasibility, lender-package preparation, capital-stack design, owner's representation, and second-opinion underwriting. Scoped to the question.
Engaged across the full client spectrum: family offices, HNW principals, lenders, municipalities, sponsors, property owners, and institutional LPs.
Client Spectrum
Who We Serve
Pacific Flyway works with sophisticated counterparties who value boutique discipline and institutional standards in equal measure. The unified-operator practice means the same expertise applies across very different capital structures and engagement types.
Family Offices
Single- and multi-family offices deploying direct real estate equity across the Pacific Flyway corridor. Typical engagement: programmatic co-GP relationships, principal LP positions, and ongoing advisory.
HNW Principals
High-net-worth individuals with deployable capital, often via 506(b) and 506(c) syndications, 1031-exchange sourcing, and co-investment opportunities alongside Pacific Flyway-sponsored deals.
Institutional LPs
Pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, private-equity LPs, and larger family offices seeking programmatic exposure to neighborhood-scale mixed-use and retail. Engaged as fee developer, owner's rep, or advisor.
Lenders & Debt Funds
Debt funds, regional and community lenders, life-co and agency lenders, and bridge / mezz lenders engaging Pacific Flyway for workout, construction-completion management, sponsor replacement, REO management, and pre-foreclosure advisory.
Property Owners
Long-hold owners with sites that need entitlement, repositioning, adaptive reuse, or ground-up development. Engaged as fee developer, owner's rep, or advisor.
Sponsors & Developers
Developers and sponsors who lack the specific expertise we bring to a particular deal type, most commonly retail-and-multifamily integration, coastal entitlement, or stacked-entitlement modeling.
Municipalities & Public Agencies
Cities, counties, redevelopment agencies, and public-sector clients engaging Pacific Flyway on Great Street programs, mixed-use district planning, adaptive-reuse strategy, and public-private partnership feasibility.
Estate, Wealth & Trust Advisors
Wealth managers, trust officers, estate attorneys, and CPAs who refer their HNW and family-office clients to Pacific Flyway for direct real estate engagement.
Advisory Services
Sized to the Question, Billed Transparently
Advisory work is scoped as a discrete, written deliverable or a defined retainer engagement. All offerings are sized to the question, billed transparently, and structured so each engagement compounds naturally into the next where the relationship calls for it.
Market & Project Feasibility
Discrete, fixed-fee written work that answers a single strategic question on a site, deal, or market, the most common entry point into a Pacific Flyway relationship.
Real Estate Development
Ground-up and adaptive reuse across retail, multifamily, and office. Engaged for specific phases or the full development lifecycle, fixed fees on discrete deliverables, monthly retainers on multi-phase engagements.
Owner's Representation & Construction Management
Engaged as the Owner's fiduciary across pre-construction and construction, aligned through monthly retainer or percent-of-Total Development Cost, with performance bonuses available.
Retail Specialist Engagement
For institutions and larger family offices with mixed-use development in progress.
- Retail concept strategy. Anchor candidates, in-line tenant mix, F&B versus service versus experiential balance, percentage-rent strategy, co-tenancy framework.
- Demand modeling. Trade-area analysis, demographic capture rates, traffic-and-visibility analysis, sales-per-square-foot benchmarks for the proposed tenant categories.
- Design integration. Public realm framework, storefront design standards, signage strategy, parking and access patterns that retail tenants will actually sign leases against.
- Pro forma overlay. Achievable rent ranges, TI allowances, free-rent assumptions, percentage-rent upside modeling, NNN charge framework, modeled into the deal's overall pro forma.
- Leasing strategy & broker management. Broker selection, leasing standards, LOI review, lease negotiation support, tenant-allowance discipline.
- Ongoing retail asset management. Post-stabilization tenant relationships, percentage-rent reporting review, lease renewal strategy, repositioning when retail rolls.
Why this is different: Most mixed-use deals that underperform do so because the retail underwhelmed, not because the residential failed. The retail half of a mixed-use project requires a different operating discipline, a different network of tenant relationships, and a different design sensibility than residential. We are engaged because the sponsor's team is exceptional at one of those two halves and recognizes the other needs a specialist.
How We Are Compensated
Fee Structures
Pacific Flyway uses five fee structures, sized to the nature of the engagement. Each is transparent, written into the engagement agreement, and structured so the firm earns its fee only when the client is well served.
Fixed-Fee Project Engagements
Discrete advisory work: feasibility studies, pro formas, entitlement roadmaps, retail feasibility, lender-package preparation, capital-stack design, workout diagnoses. Scope defined in writing; deliverable is a finished written work product plus a walk-through meeting.
Monthly Retainer Engagements
Multi-month engagements: entitlement management, design oversight, owner's representation, development management. Defined scope and termination provisions. Billed monthly in advance.
Percentage of Total Development Cost
For full-lifecycle development-management engagements where the firm functions as the developer of record, fees may be structured as a percentage of total development cost.
Performance Bonuses
Available on construction-phase mandates, owner's-rep engagements, and lender workouts. Tied to clearly measurable outcomes: schedule milestones, cost savings against approved budget, lease-up / sales-pace targets, or value preserved.
Principal Co-Investment & Promote
On co-GP and principal engagements, Pacific Flyway aligns through sponsor co-investment, base and acquisition fees, asset-management fees, and a promote over the LP preferred return.
How we bill. All fees are negotiable in the context of a specific deal, capital structure, and engagement length. Fixed-fee engagements are billed at % complete on a monthly basis. Retainer engagements are billed monthly in advance. Performance bonuses are paid at the agreed measurement milestones.
