Walton Global Launches $250M Builder Land Finance Fund 

Walton Global has officially launched Builder Land Finance (BLF) Fund III, a private credit investment vehicle aimed at accredited investors seeking fixed-income opportunities secured by institutional land banking strategies. Designed for broker-dealers, RIAs, and family offices, the new fund targets up to $250 million in capital and offers an annualized return ranging from 9% (for broker-dealer clients) to 11.5% (for fee-only RIA clients), paid quarterly. 

Structured as a debt-based fund, BLF Fund III provides capital to support land acquisition projects pre-identified and contracted by the largest homebuilder in the U.S. The strategy enables just-in-time delivery of land inventory to homebuilders, with investor income secured by underlying land assets and premium payments from the builder.  

BLF Fund III includes a 5-year term with two optional 1-year extensions. Notably, the fund excludes exposure to entitlement, construction risk, or housing price volatility, providing a more stable yield profile. 

“Our just-in-time land strategy is designed to give builders the inventory they need, when they need it, while offering our investors exposure to a resilient and essential segment of the real estate market,” said Bill Doherty, CEO of Walton Global. 

BLF Fund III follows the company’s continued expansion into Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) and structured land investment solutions. In May, Walton launched its Delaware Growth 2 Dupont DST project in Kent County, DE, marking its second Delaware-based DST after launching Delaware Growth 1 – Indian Point in August of 2024, and eighth overall.    

Based in Scottsdale, AZ, Walton Global manages over 80,000 acres of land across the U.S. and Canada, with total assets under management exceeding $4.53 billion.
