We partner with Catholic dioceses, faith institutions, nonprofits, and mission-aligned landowners to unlock the full value of underutilized property. We transform it into vibrant, sustainable, walkable communities. The result is long-term capital that funds and expands the institution's mission.
Numbers are aggregated across funds, joint ventures, ground leases, and direct development executed by the Beckett real estate platform and its principals. Performance is presented gross of fees on a project basis, includes realized and unrealized positions, and is supplemental to ABF Real Estate fund-level results. Past performance is not indicative of future returns.
“The most undervalued asset in American real estate is the parking lot behind the church.”
For generations, faith-based and nonprofit institutions have stewarded some of the most strategically located land in the country. This real estate is more than just property; it is a profound patrimony and a legacy of service. Yet, many of these organizations have lacked the capital, expertise, and patient partner required to unlock its full potential.
We exist to be that partner. We understand that it is crucial to honor your legacy by creating enduring financial sustainability for the future, while simultaneously delivering mission-aligned outcomes today. We bring institutional underwriting, in-house development, and a long-term cap stack to organizations that have always been told their land is too complicated or too mission-sensitive for traditional capital. We do well by doing good. Our track record proves that preserving your patrimony and achieving financial strength are never in tension.
While our edge is mission-aligned land, we also partner with secular sponsors and market sellers in the same secondary and tertiary metros where our underwriting and operating bench create an advantage.
We invest in high-performing, purpose-driven projects in markets often overlooked by traditional capital. These are places where strong fundamentals, faith partnerships, and disciplined design create disproportionate impact.
Four asset categories where mission-aligned land, secondary-market fundamentals, and disciplined design compound into both impact and return.
Developments of 150 units or more designed around walkability, efficient unit mix, and durable demand. Often delivered with a affordable-housing component for ministry-affiliated families and local educators, nurses, and first responders.
Underutilized parcels in tertiary downtowns and faith corridors. Repositioned into ground-floor retail, community programming, and residential above. Designed to anchor the neighborhood, not just occupy it.
Church campuses, decommissioned schools, and historic structures reimagined into income-producing real estate. We preserve the institution's footprint, restore the building, and fund its next chapter.
Purpose-built senior housing developed in partnership with parishes and faith institutions. On-site programming partnerships preserve the spiritual community residents have spent a lifetime in.
We navigate zoning, community engagement, and faith-stakeholder governance. This is the work most capital walks away from.
Institutional GC relationships, in-house program management, and disciplined budget control from groundbreak to certificate of occupancy.
Property management, asset management, and capital events handled by a bench built over three decades.
Programming, services, and amenities that honor the mission of the original landowner. They lift the surrounding neighborhood as well.
Mission-aligned landowners need optionality, not a one-size product. We meet institutions where they are. We preserve ownership where that matters and provide outright capital where it does not. We meet LPs with the vehicle that fits their mandate.
Discretionary capital deployed across a curated pipeline of mission-aligned development and value-add multifamily across secondary and tertiary US markets.
Special vehicles for landmark projects. Long-term ground leases with dioceses, JVs with faith institutions, and sponsor partnerships where LPs want direct exposure to a specific property.
Feasibility studies, market underwriting, site diligence, and early conversations with parish, diocesan, or nonprofit stakeholders.
Zoning strategy, community engagement, financial modeling, and initial design. Typically 6 to 12 months before breaking ground.
Equity, construction debt, agency takeout, tax credits, and any incentives sized into a stack that aligns sponsor, LP, and landowner.
Institutional GC relationships, sustainability-led design (LEED-aligned), in-house program management. Typically 12 to 24 months from groundbreak to certificate of occupancy.
Tenant acquisition, property management, and operating optimization. Typically 6 to 12 months to stabilization.
Long-hold operations, refinance and recap events at the right moment, and ongoing reporting to LPs and landowner partners.
Q1 2026 — pre-development across diocesan and university partnerships.
Detailed project memoranda available to qualified institutional partners under NDA.

Practical questions from founders, sponsors, and LPs: grouped by topic, answered directly. Need something not covered here? Start a conversation.
Yes. Every structure we build (ground lease, JV, or acquisition) is designed to honor the institution's charism and surface long-term cash flow that funds its mission, not extract from it.
Yes. We run development end-to-end on most of our projects, with in-house program management and institutional GC partners. We do not hand off the work that matters.
Yes. Energy-efficient systems, low-carbon materials, water management, and LEED-aligned design are baseline, not upgrades. Sustainability is underwriting, not marketing.
No. We deliberately concentrate in secondary and tertiary US metros. These are places where capital is scarce, fundamentals are strong, and our work makes an outsized difference.
Only when an exceptional sponsor is leading and our role is best as capital and counsel. Default is hands-on, from feasibility through stabilization.
Partner-authored briefings from the real estate desk.
Real estate tied to mission is never just land. It is a responsibility. It is a chance to serve institutions, communities, residents, and future generations with discipline and care.
As Beckett Industries Real Estate grows, we are adding leaders who understand development, finance, stewardship, and the responsibility of building with discipline. Clarence Rivette brings that kind of wisdom to the platform.
Mission-driven real estate cannot stop at vision. It has to be executed with discipline. Todd Oosting and Michael Garrett bring the local development and construction judgment that helps turn trusted access into real projects.
