Our Land Partnership approach solves the financing problem by allowing the value of the land to be invested, and it essentially replaces the 99 year lease with an indefinite or “evergreen” right of occupation within a partnership-based contractual framework or agreement.

For as long as Occupiers pay a rental in respect of the capital invested in the location then they may occupy the location.

The effect is to create a new form of co-ownership between occupier and financier.
