Ownership Oriented

Our Turnkey Development Program alleviates all facility development concerns from our clients’ hands, so they can focus on educating students.

We handle all strategic planning and milestone management throughout the lifecycle of an educational facility construction project. From feasibility analysis and acquisition to development, construction and ribbon-cutting, we’re on top of it all. And our “lease-to-own” model enables schools to plan for the eventual outright ownership of their facilities, a true differentiator in the space. Our comprehensive program covers every phase of the project lifecycle:

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our services provide school leaders with expert guidance through every phase of development:

    • Project Feasibility & Affordability: We determine what your school can afford for sustainable growth and analyze the competitive landscape for
      everything from individual classroom facilities to full-scale campus construction.

    • Site Selection & Due Diligence: We confirm community support for the project, ensure the facility will meet your needs now and in the
      future, and investigate all potential constraints.

    • Acquisition: We manage the entire process for either ground-up construction or the rehab of an existing space, including establishing a
      clear timeline for renovation.

    • Financing Options: We identify what your school can afford and stress-test the budget against potential fluctuations in enrollment.

    • Development: We handle all planning, permitting, construction management, and the final punch list to ensure a seamless project delivery.
       

    Charter school real estate development process chart
  • We partner with a wide range of educational institutions, with a strong focus on those serving under-resourced communities. Our mission as a non-profit CDFI is to bring facilities and funding where they are most needed. Our expertise is especially critical for charter schools, which often face unique challenges. 

    Just as you hire a math teacher to teach math, it makes sense to partner with experts for facility development. Navigating real estate involves complex nuances like zoning restrictions and municipal requirements like traffic studies, site design, and building codes. Working with a partner like 22Beacon (Formerly CSDC) allows school leaders to focus on their priorities while having the confidence that they are working with experts knowledgeable about real estate relative to educational facilities.
