Real Estate Development Firm Launched During National Economic Recession

Jan. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Real estate industry veteran, Matthew R. Marshall, formed a partnership with long time North Carolina marketing and finance partners to launch IronTree Partners.  The firm will specialize in offering real estate development services to public and private universities, municipalities and other qualified not for profit entities.  The company is already pursuing several student housing opportunities within the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions in multiple university markets and has offices in Winston-Salem and Charlotte, North Carolina.  The real estate development company was formed during these challenging economic times as it has access to a unique and proven tax-exempt bond financing model which creates immense value for the clients in these equally unique times.      

Executive Director, Matt Marshall, recently commented, “ IronTree Partners has the ability to introduce a financing & development model which can save tax-exempt entities 40% to 50% in a present value basis over all historical financing systems, therefore creating significant opportunity for universities, municipalities and other qualified tax-exempt entities to address their capital and development needs while also creating jobs in our economy.”      

The firm creates the capital for its clients through a proven and patented financing system which blends philanthropy and investment and allows all ownership to rest with the client as IronTree Partners is only a fee development provider.  Due to its philanthropic nature, which is a key component, tax-exempt entities can issue debt securities without the long term burden of ever repaying the principal.  This capital creation benefits not only the tax-exempt entities but also the investors who purchase the bonds.  

IronTree Partners believes this visionary model has the ability to revolutionize the way public and private universities, municipalities and other qualified entities view their ability to issue securities.  The financing model has been used at two state universities and is currently in underwriting with several others.  

“Traditionally philanthropy and investment have been on opposite sides of the spectrum, which has now changed, and we are fortunate to be part of something very special which will have a positive impact on universities throughout the country”, said Marshall.

IronTree Partners is also reaching out to the investment and development community to form strategic partnerships for national coverage to provide the most opportunity for local not for profit entities throughout the country.
