Problem
Accredited investors often lack access to institutional-grade commercial real estate (CRE) investment opportunities, which are typically reserved for large institutions and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Traditional investment structures may also have misaligned incentives between developers and investors, potentially increasing risk.
Solution
Varuna provides accredited investors access to exclusive commercial real estate investment opportunities through partnerships with institutional developers. By requiring developers to contribute significant equity (up to 50% of the required capital), Varuna aligns the interests of developers, sponsors, and investors. Varuna focuses on single-asset deals, providing transparency and control, allowing investors to customize their portfolios. Varuna raises only up to 10% of the total deal equity, leveraging the expertise of seasoned institutional partners.
