Long Term Land Holding
LTLH invests in the future by holding land that hosts critical infrastructure assets. We specialize in acquiring and leasing Critical Infrastructure Ground Sites (CIGS) to support essential services operated by trusted partners.
Investing In Critical Infrastructure
We buy and hold CIGS, i.e. Critical Infrastructure Ground Sites. CIGS are land plots that host critical infrastructure assets which are operated by third parties.
These third parties - our tenants - are partners whom we support and serve over the very long term.
We buy the land which these partners have identified early in the development stage of their infrastructure assets and lease it to them once the project is Ready-To-Build.
Or we buy from them and leaseback to them the land which they own under already-operating assets so as to free up investment capital.
