PE / Investor Pre-Equity Due Diligence

For a PE fund looking at an unfinished building — say at super-structure stage — who needs fundamental due diligence before committing capital. Covers physical structure assessment, land-ownership and title verification, face-to-face developer interview, and validation of tangible milestones such as signed HMAs with reputable operators. Gives the investor enough confidence to proceed to the financial modelling phase.
