Founded in 2005, American Land Fund (ALF) is a private real estate acquisition fund based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ALF\'s strategy is to acquire attractive unentitled land in the path of development, with a focus on markets with high demand and/or barriers to growth. The fund has completed all acquisitions and has assets in both urban infill and greenfield locations. The assets are both primary and secondary projects.

While each investment is unique, ALF has general criteria for its acquisitions. As long-term investors, we have a target investment horizon of 6 to 10 years. As a result of our long holding period, ALF uses minimal leverage to avoid a mismatch between asset and liability durations.

ALF manages the property, obtains entitlements and markets the property to builders, along with a local partner with knowledgeable local developers for each acquisition. The partnership works with the city, county and other governing authorities regarding environmental concerns, rezoning, annexation, planning, surveying and obtaining utility services, as well as any other processes required to obtain paper or platted lots for a planned development.
