The investment opportunity · AFMR DV Fund I, LLC
Advance a pivotal commercial parcel—before vertical risk.
01 /Fund I is intended to advance the approximately 4.5-acre CC-1 parcel through the work that helps a future transaction take shape.
The focus is site control, diligence, entitlement and parcel readiness. Each workstream is intended to clarify constraints and inform the next decision; approvals and outcomes remain uncertain. The acquisition path and site control remain subject to definitive transaction documentation, title and survey review, parcel configuration, access, utilities, feasibility and closing conditions.
- Site-control documentation
- Title and survey review
- Land-use planning
- Entitlement coordination
- Technical diligence
- Agency coordination
- Parcel-readiness materials
- Market validation
- Pre-development work
A defined mandate
Fund I is an entitlement and pre-development vehicle. It is not intended to fund vertical or hotel construction, hotel operations, roads, grading, installed utilities, horizontal infrastructure, physical improvements, construction or hotel debt, debt service, or other physical development expenditures outside its approved mandate.
*Opportunity Zone context is subject to parcel eligibility, investment structure, ongoing compliance and independent tax review. No tax benefit is assured.
The value-creation strategy
Build readiness
in deliberate stages.
02 /Validate
Assess title, survey, access, utilities, environmental, geotechnical, traffic and market conditions.
Entitle
Coordinate land-use strategy, applications, agency engagement and the pursuit of required approvals.
Position
Finalize parcel documentation, market narrative and strategic-partner outreach.
Monetize
Evaluate a sale, ground lease, joint venture, recapitalization, strategic disposition or separately capitalized development pathway.
A proposed process, not a statement of completed milestones. Exit alternatives are possibilities; none is assured.

Four Mile Ranch · Platform & potential pipeline
A community-scale setting
with parcel-level discipline.
03 /Hospitality-led commercial opportunity
The immediate Fund I focus is contemplated for hospitality or mixed-use development, subject to diligence, approvals, feasibility and market validation.
- Approximately 4.5 gross acres
- Entitlement and parcel-readiness focus
- Future hospitality would be separately capitalized
Commercial and mixed-use potential
Possible future opportunities within the broader framework require independent evaluation, diligence and capitalization.
- CC-2 destination retail / mixed-use concept
- NC-1 medical, wellness and professional-services concept
- Separate diligence and approvals required
Infrastructure-aligned uses
Additional concepts depend on infrastructure capacity, market and tenant demand, financing and entitlement conditions.
- CC-6 conceptual industrial / data / modular campus
- Utility and infrastructure feasibility are essential
- No tenant identified; CC-6 is not currently shovel-ready
Future concepts are not Fund I construction commitments or statements of approved uses, secured tenants or available infrastructure.

Site control and transaction clarity
Clarify rights, documentation and closing conditions.

Evaluate site constraints and key third-party findings.
