MCDONALD Co-founder and Senior Managing Director" bioText="A leading national authority on urban land planning and infill development of for-sale townhome and condominium housing, McDonald has been instrumental in the implementation of New Urbanism principles in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Prior to INCAP, McDonald was the founder and principal owner of CityHomes, the nation's largest inner-city homebuilder, which was acquired in 2001 by Centex Corporation. McDonald offers INCAP more than 27 years of experience in construction, real estate, accounting, and finance, as well as extensive expertise in real estate syndication and complex legal, finance, and tax structuring. A licensed CPA, McDonald worked at the Dallas accounting firm of Laventhol & Horwath until 1987, where his experience as an audit and tax specialist involved diverse clients in the banking, real estate, construction, and securities industries. In addition to being named the 1999 Builder of the Year by the National Association of Homebuilders, McDonald has developed and sold more than $300,000,000 worth of apartments, condominiums, and townhomes in the Oak Lawn and Uptown area of Dallas, and he has been pivotal in transforming the severely blighted Knox Park area into the city's preeminent pedestrian-friendly, urban residential neighborhood. BRADY K. WOOD Co-founder and Senior Managing Director" bioText="An award-winning urban-revitalization pioneer with 16 years of infill experience that involves a diverse portfolio of real properties and operating entities. Brady Wood is the co-founder and Senior Managing Director of INCAP Fund. From 1990 until 2003, he co-founded and led a 250-employee hospitality company that developed and operated urban restaurants and retail establishments with a strategy to leverage the operating entities into real estate investment opportunities. The result yielded vibrant live/work/play districts in undervalued areas and his various real estate holding companies purchased, repositioned and managed over forty properties in urban areas of DFW. Wood forged valuable neighborhood alliances and strong relationships with city staff and elected officials to utilize complex tax and other incentive programs to help stimulate economic development in these areas. Wood has helped create and/or served on a variety of TIF, PID and neighborhood boards and is an active historic preservationist. We provide a consistent source of premium urban land opportunites combined with a structured capital solution for development. The American community is in transition. While life in the sprawling detached single-family homes of suburbia has been an accepted "ideal" since the 1950s, more and more sophisticated homeowners are seeking a higher quality of life by putting work, shopping, culture, entertainment, and transit within easier reach. The trend, known as New Urbanism, is expected to do nothing but increase over the next two decades as the children of Baby Boomers - the so-called Generation X and Echo Boom generation - complete college and establish their households. This move back to the city is known as urban infill and INCAP is leading the way in making a vibrant, livable, sustainable urban lifestyle a reality. INCAP focuses on the largest segment of infill: The development of for-sale attached residential projects, primarily townhome-style condominiums and townhomes. INCAP not only provides the most efficient capital solutions to qualified infill builders; we also offer a consistent source of building sites and finished lots with unparalleled marketplace knowledge, exceptional deal-structuring creativity, the speed that comes with solid financial strength and a proven track record in this unique and demanding real estate niche. Our technical, political, and market knowledge is dominant and indisputable" paragraphText="INCAP Fund is a single-source debt, equity, and structured finance solution for qualified infill developers. We exercise disciplined asset management and sophisticated internal controls, and rely on standardization and proven best-practices to compress cycle times and reduce risk. Our strategic land development process creates an efficient and stable finished-lot pipeline for developers. Committed to smart-growth, INCAP develops projects that consistently result in sustainable communities with profound community impact. Our technical, political, and market knowledge is dominant and indisputable. We created and defined the standard metrics that are fundamental to this market niche, from zoning and density, to lot sizes and floor plans, to sales and marketing and Homeowner Association (HOA) bylaws. INCAP Fund provides you with the extensive land development and finance experience you need. With extensive background of infill land acquisitions, urban land development and vertical for-sale projects we are able to manage each phase of land development independently. That's our advantage. Our proprietary data and market knowledge enables us to extract the most out of undervalued, underutilized, and overlooked infill urban land and have the unique ability to obtain higher densities via our special platting, zoning, and site-planning strategies. The Demand for Urban Infill Development Every city, town and suburb has vacant or underutilized land in its center area that can be put to use for the good of the community. It can range from the single vacant lot to surface parking lots, empty or dilapidated strip shopping centers, or run-down apartment complexes or other structures. Once considered eyesores, properties such as these are now recognized as opportunities that can - when planned, financed, and developed properly - spur the revitalization of neighborhoods that are stagnant or in decline. The concept; however, involves more than simply placing new, financially viable structures on existing sites. In its finest expression, infill provides what individual communities demand and want, and they will not settle for less. It creates a geographic heart and soul - a quality and a sense of place - that attracts people, generates activity and enhances life in a pedestrian-friendly manner. It creates neighborhoods and districts that embrace a mix of uses and incomes, where a wide variety of citizens live, work and play. A place where a variety of transportation options exist, including biking, walking and public transportation as potential substitutes for auto travel and the crushing commute times. Finally, it incorporates excellent design into everything from architectural facades to landscaping to exterior signage; an environment that is sociable, accessible, and safe." blockText="Infill describes the reuse of property and buildings in a way that makes economic sense for property owners, local governments and the regional economy. Simply put, successful infill creates sustainable communities that encourage ongoing private investment and development long after the initial improvements are complete.
