Ground lease financing is a unique financing option for commercial real estate investors and developers. Instead of purchasing a property outright, a ground lease allows the investor to lease the land from the land owner and acquire an existing asset or develop their own asset on the land. This financing option can provide flexibility and cost savings for investors, as they only have to pay for the land and not the property itself.

Ground leases are typically long-term agreements, lasting anywhere from 50-99 years. The terms of the lease will outline the obligations and responsibilities of both the lessee and the lessor, including the rent payment and any maintenance or improvements required on the property.

Ground lease financing can be a beneficial option for investors who want to own a commercial property without the full financial burden of property ownership. It can also be an attractive option for investors who want to take advantage of prime real estate locations without the upfront cost of purchasing the property.
