Public-Private Partnerships

Navigating the complex world of project finance can be overwhelming. That is why we were established—to create tailored solutions designed to align perfectly with our client’s unique goals and aspirations.

Public-private partnership (P3) transactions enable the public sector to deliver much-needed facilities more efficiently by transferring the responsibility and risk for integrated development, financing, design-build, and operations and maintenance to a private sector partner. P3 delivery factors in a holistic view of a project, where the private partner considers the development’s whole-life cost – not just the upfront cost of delivering the facility. Integrating design-build, financing, and maintenance under one umbrella results in a lower actual cost in totality than if the public entity undertook those efforts on its own. Align’s approach to financing P3 projects rests on its expertise in capital formation, risk appropriation, and legal frameworks.

We have helped structure and finance public-private partnership (P3) transactions across various asset types.  Our role has been in multiple capacities and is always tailored to meet the unique needs of each project.  In every instance, we draw upon our experience as real estate developers, lenders, investors, and owners to provide comprehensive support to our partners.

Who we partner with:

• Anchor institutions (healthcare systems, public school districts, colleges, and universities)

• State and local governments

• Real estate developers
