2 - Our Vision

The vision of the T.D. Jakes Real Estate Organization is to serve as a thought leader addressing the fundamental issues and challenges facing underserved communities with the objective of developing sustainable and thriving communities. We invest the time and resources to understand the needs of the community and harness the requisite resources to realize the vision. We are developing for the long run.

Objective

The vision of the T.D.Jakes Real Estate Organization is to create sustainable communities that thrive offering economic opportunity in a safe and secure environment. We will bring the right resources to realize the vision.

Teamwork

The teams will work to collectively build a community economic plan and financing platform that stimulates realistic and creative 21st century community economic solutions, develop viable housing, retail and business solutions supported by progressive community development policies.

The Plan

The intent is to utilize a strong complement of private capital, economic incentives and financial tools to encourage investment in the affected communities establishing a physical and human development framework that seeks to achieve sustainable and measurable outcomes while mitigating development risks.

3 - Use of Alternative Financing

The T. D. Jakes Real Estate Organization understands the need for and has the expertise to evaluate and access the various economic incentive tools created for underserved markets and will seek to blend these tools and strategies with private equity and debt to obtain the funding required to finance development projects in these markets.

Core Team

Our core team includes many of the country’s leading community development experts, which allows us to easily incorporate suggestions for leveraging local and federal government agency programs (CDFI) and tax credit programs (opportunity zone) into our investment analysis criteria

Investments

We pursue investment opportunities that incorporate the use of alternative financing to mitigate project risk and the use of market-based funding, with the expectation of developing a financially viable and sustainable outcome.

Tax Credits

We see government sponsored incentive programs such as New Market Tax Credits, Historic Tax Credits, Brownfield Credits, Tax Increment Financing, Opportunity Zones, real estate tax abatement and other tax credit programs.

Tax Incentives

Tax credits and incentives offer a significant benefit to our real estate investment plans by providing patient, low cost equity or debt capital that aids in mitigating risk. Community impact is achieved when we incorporate measurable outcomes by linking performance with the capital.

The Community Development Strategy

5 - What We Do

We develop from within the community identifying and working, with community stakeholders; assessing the community’s needs; and formulating a development plan for the purpose of creating sustainable and thriving communities. This is accomplished through building partnerships within the community and seeking co-development partners where needed that are best in class with a proven record of success in the targeted real estate sectors.

AFFORDABLE, ATTAINABLE, AND WORKFORCE LIVING

TDJREV is developing programs in response to the growing, nationwide need for affordable, attainable, and workforce housing. These programs provide options that help families who live in underserved areas realize and sustain attainable living with the goal of home ownership. Through educational programs and incentives, TDJREV will positively impact communities that have historically experienced barriers to home ownership or who have experienced hardships caused by the coronavirus pandemic and other economic upheavals.

SENIOR LIVING

With life-expectancy and cost-of-living on the rise, the need for assisted living and memory care is greater than ever. TDJREV is committed to the development of high-quality, affordable senior living options internationally.

HOTELS & RESORTS

TDJREV is entering into the hotel and resort development segment, both domestically and internationally. Our projects range from economy to upscale and resort developments.

COMMERCIAL & ENTERTAINMENT

Mixed use developments are a major focus of TDJREV. Building community includes offering lifestyle options for the people living within that community. Convenience to groceries, shopping, restaurants and entertainment is essential.
