Revenue model
- Real Estate Investment Returns: Collett Capital generates returns through the acquisition, development, and active asset management of well-located, income-producing real estate. Returns are realized through durable cash flows (rental income from tenants), property appreciation, and proceeds from strategic exits. The firm invests through real estate funds where it acts as sponsor, operating partner, and co-investor alongside institutional and private capital partners.
- Build-to-Rent Development (Canvas Residential): Through its Canvas Residential platform (jointly launched with Creighton Call), Collett Capital develops purpose-built for-rent residential communities (60–250 homes, 2–4 bedroom floorplans) throughout the Southeast, generating returns through development margin, rental income, and long-term asset appreciation.
