Q. What types of land does Keystone Investor Group focus on for development?
We primarily work with undeveloped land in Arizona, with a focus on the Phoenix metropolitan area. Our projects often involve properties where the highest and best use has not yet been realized, such as land with potential for residential, commercial, agricultural, or mixed-use development.
Q. How does your partnership model with landowners work?
Keystone forms strategic partnerships with landowners to develop their property. Instead of purchasing the land outright, we collaborate with the owner, contributing our expertise in entitlements, planning, and development. This approach creates a win-win outcome, allowing landowners to share in the enhanced value created through development.
Q. Do I need to already own land to participate in a project?
No. While we partner directly with landowners, we also welcome investors who may not own undeveloped land. These investors can participate financially in Keystone-led projects and benefit from the professional management of our experienced team.
Q. What types of investors do you work with, and what is the minimum investment?
We work with accredited investors, private individuals, and groups seeking to diversify their portfolios with land-based opportunities. Minimum investment levels vary by project and are discussed during the onboarding process to ensure alignment with both the investor’s goals and the project requirements.
Q. How do you identify the “highest and best use” of a property?
Our team evaluates market trends, zoning regulations, demographics, and infrastructure to determine the most profitable and sustainable use of the land. This may involve entitlement work to change the use or to unlock development potential that was previously unrecognized.
Q. What are the typical risks involved in land development, and how does Keystone mitigate them?
Land development can involve entitlement delays, regulatory challenges, or market fluctuations. We mitigate these risks by engaging vetted local experts, leveraging decades of experience, and focusing on projects where value can be created through entitlement improvements rather than speculative development.
Q. How long does a typical development project take from start to finish?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the entitlement and development process. Some projects may progress within 12–24 months, while others may take several years. We provide clear expectations and regular updates to all partners and investors.
Q. Why is local expertise and understanding of the political process so important?
Every community has unique zoning codes, political dynamics, and regulatory processes. By working with the best local professionals and maintaining relationships with decision-makers, we navigate these processes efficiently and responsibly, ensuring our projects achieve approval and success.
Q. What makes Keystone Investor Group different from other land developers or investment firms?
Our win-win approach sets us apart. We do not simply purchase land and develop it—we build partnerships with landowners and investors, sharing both the risks and the rewards. With decades of experience and a vetted professional team, we focus on integrity, collaboration, and long-term value creation.
Q. Are your projects focused only in Arizona, or do you expand into other regions?
While our current focus is on Arizona—especially the Phoenix area—we evaluate opportunities in other markets where our expertise and network of professionals can add value. Saying this, we do have opportunities in other states like Texas so do not hesite to contact us.
Q. How can I learn more about the current opportunities available in the Phoenix area?
The best way to learn more is to contact us directly. We will provide details on active projects, partnership opportunities, and upcoming investment offerings. Our team is always available to discuss how we can work together to create lasting value.
