Habib Capital connects family offices and institutional investors with ground-up projects that are priced, designed and ready to build, delivered by contractors with a century of local work behind them.
Habib Capital is a San Diego placement firm working across Southern California, Nevada, Arizona and Washington. We work on a small number of development opportunities at a time and bring each one to investors only once the fundamentals are in hand: site control, a design team, contractor pricing and a defined capital stack.
Our sponsors and builders are established Southern California firms. Our investors are family offices and institutions in the United States and the Gulf who want direct exposure to coastal California housing without having to source and vet projects themselves.
Every introduction comes with the documents a serious investor asks for first, organized in one data room, and a direct line to the people building the project.
LP and joint venture equity for ground-up multifamily, student housing and mixed-use projects, matched to investors whose mandate fits the deal.
Offering summaries, data rooms and diligence packages built from the sponsor's actual numbers: GC pricing, entitlements, schedule and sources and uses.
Introductions between California sponsors and Gulf family offices, with the context both sides need to move from first meeting to term sheet.
Help for developers and builders preparing a raise: positioning the project, structuring the ask, and choosing which capital to approach first.
