Founded by Phillip Wiggins, Stratford Land has successfully invested more than $850 million in land over the past 28 years on behalf of institutional and private investors. Creating value by positioning land to its highest and best use, Stratford has made investments controlling more than 40,000 acres in four private equity funds that are now fully invested. Stratford Land’s Land Fund IV, initiated in 2010 for both equity and debt investments in land, has invested over $260 million in equity and placed almost $90 million in loans. Stratford acquires land or makes loans on land in the path of growth, providing innovative structures for land buyers and borrowers, and in the case of equity investments seeks to add value through envisioning, planning, entitlement and pre-development work. Stratford Land focuses on high growth corridors in Texas, Arizona, southern California and the eastern seaboard from North Carolina to Florida, and maintains offices in Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix. Stratford is a vertically-integrated organization that handles acquisition, disposition, land planning, entitlement, engineering, asset management, market research, legal, accounting and reporting services.
