Starwood Capital Group and Trez Capital Form Strategic Partnership for U.S. Residential Land Financing
Starwood Capital Group and Trez Capital have entered into a strategic partnership to originate residential land acquisition and development loans for single-family communities across the United States. The collaboration combines Starwood's institutional capital and investment platform with Trez Capital's specialized expertise in residential land financing, aiming to address structural housing supply imbalances in high-growth U.S. markets. The partnership will be seeded with a US$450 million portfolio of loans already originated by Trez Capital, with an ultimate target of exceeding US$1 billion in annual originations. This alliance is designed to scale Trez Capital's lending capacity while providing Starwood Capital with expanded opportunities to finance land development and acquisition.
