Big Cypress Capital (BCC) is led by industry veterans who have decades of investment experience including deep immersion in real estate capital markets, debt and equity investments, and asset management that has been tested through several economic cycles.

BCC’s Headwaters Platform is more nuanced than a typical real estate transaction – it’s a service-driven investment in long-term relationships.

These Strategic Operators leverage deep local knowledge and expertise to identify investment opportunities within high-growth MSAs.

BCC’s executives, investment professionals, and advisors provide Strategic Operators with valuable organizational support and mentoring services, engendering a deep level of loyalty and trust between the parties. This support and counsel results in long-term value creation within each Strategic Operator’s platform. Strategic Operators favor Headwaters’ programmatic discretionary equity given its proven successful track record of delivering high-impact support services, enabling emerging real estate managers to rapidly build institutional caliber investment programs.

Coordination

The entire capital stack is carefully and strategically coordinated among capital participants leveraging BCC’s extensive and rapidly expanding capital partner network.

Risk Management & Fiduciary Oversight

A Growth Focused Investment Strategy

BCC targets markets with strong population and employment growth. Target markets are in states experiencing notable multiyear in-migration trends, leading to some of the nation’s strongest commercial real estate income growth.

Representative Sample Investments

BCC leverages its innovative Headwaters Strategic Operator platform to identify joint venture opportunities for thematic real estate investments. Once the initial investment is placed under contract by a Strategic Operator, the Strategic Operator and BCC commence pre-closing activities and prepare the requisite investment materials to arrange/confirm Institutional LP equity commitments. Institutional LP investors are vetted and collaboratively selected by BCC and each Strategic Operator, providing additional institutional underwriting rigor and fiduciary objectivity.
