NorthPoint Development
NorthPoint traces its roots to Briarcliff Development Company. Nathaniel Hagedorn started his career at Briarcliff Development Company and for over 10 years Nathaniel took an increasing role within Briarcliff Development overseeing all aspects of the development work including design, entitlement, construction, management and leasing of office and retail buildings at the Briarcliff master-planned community. Nathaniel always desired to own his own company and had a goal to handle all aspects of the development process including raising all of the capital (both debt and equity) needed for projects on independent basis. Nathaniel formed a new company, Briarcliff Realty in 2008. The ownership of Briarcliff Realty was owned 80% by Nathaniel and 20% owned by Charles Garney, In 2012, Nathaniel repurchased Garney’s 20% ownership stake and changed the name to NorthPoint Development. In 2011 NorthPoint started with 8 employees and currently has 48 employee owners. NorthPoint is principally focused on industrial and multifamily development. NorthPoint takes a very financially disciplined approach to investing with the following guidelines: We limit our leverage to no more than 65% loan to cost. Often times our Loan to Value is less than 50%. We have never and will never borrow money on vacant raw land; we purchase it all cash equity. We are not ‘cap rate buyers’, we will only invest if we can acquire an asset or develop an asset at a minimum of a 9% unleveraged return on total invested capital. Since 2008 NorthPoint has raised over $530,000,000 in capital for various real estate projects. NorthPoint has been fortunate enough to partner with both local and institutional investors to raise capital for its projects. Investors include a number of high net worth families in Kansas City as well as the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co.
