Resource Land Holdings is a private investment firm based in Denver, Colorado, focusing exclusively on the natural resource real estate sector. Founded in 1998, they have completed more than 80 transactions across 28 states and provinces, with a history of discontinuing mining strategies. The firm has managed seven investment vehicles with over $840 million in aggregate equity commitments. They currently operate Resource Land Fund V, LP, with $275 million of investor commitments. Their investment thesis involves partnering with skilled management teams to unlock value from out of favor, underutilized, or otherwise dislocated real estate assets. Their mission is to acquire natural resource real estate opportunistically, manage it diligently, and thoughtfully balance investment risks. They believe in finding exceptional risk-adjusted opportunities in the sector by identifying unwanted, underutilized, ignored, or misunderstood assets. Resource Land Holdings is known for collaborating with a network of professionals, growers, foresters, processors, and marketers, gaining access to a wide range of opportunities. Investments focus on agriculture, conservation/ecological, timberland, opportunistic real estate, and water. They invest in properties that often lack infrastructure, working with local management teams to restore productive capacity. Commodity offtake agreements are pursued for stability and financial visibility. In timberland, they combine opportunistic acquisitions with aggressive management of timber harvests and asset resales. They also monetize conservation and ecological values by collaborating with organizations to sell into permanent conservation holdings or to unlock ecological assets. The firm manages water rights with an emphasis on incisive management and conservation. As part of their philosophy, they may serve as transitional owners or restorers, focusing on the economic and environmental sustainability of each project, aiming to unlock value for management teams, employees, and investors.
