How We Get to Yes

Every market has its difficult assets. Here's how we turn vacant buildings, expiring leases, and stale listings into closed deals.

Case · 01·Westville, IN

The Problem

Owner needed to exit a vacant 12,000 SF industrial building in 60 days.

What We Did

Master Lease

We become the tenant of record on your facility, bring our own tenant relationships to fill it, and pay you fixed rent while we do. The lease-up risk moves to us.

  • Newly acquired & underperforming assets
  • Fixed rent · one counterparty
  • Our tenants, our lease-up, our management
Master Lease · For Owners

We Lease the Building.
You Collect the Rent.

A newly acquired building with vacancy. An asset that has been underperforming for a while. Either way, the problem is the same: you are carrying space that isn't paying. Stewardship signs a master lease on the facility, brings its own tenant relationships to fill it, and pays you a fixed rent while it does.

Not every building fits. We underwrite first and tell you straight.

When it fits

  • Just closed

    You bought the building for the basis, not the vacancy. There’s no leasing team in place and the carry starts on day one.

  • Underperforming

    Stale space, rollover on the horizon, a sign that’s been up too long. The rent roll isn’t telling the story the asset could.

  • Out of market

    You want the income from the property, not a leasing project in a market you don’t live in.

  • Lender · Servicer · REO

    You’re holding an asset that needs a real rent roll before anyone will refinance it or buy it.

How it works

  1. 01

    We underwrite it

    Corridor, layout, realistic rents, actual tenant demand. We read the building the way an owner reads it — because we are one.

  2. 02

    We sign the master lease

    Stewardship becomes your tenant of record on the facility — fixed rent, fixed term, one counterparty.

  3. 03

    We fill it

    Our tenant relationships. Our leasing. Our TI coordination and management. You collect rent while we do the work.

Day 1

Income starts at signing, not at stabilization.

1

Counterparty. One lease, one check, one relationship.

0

Lease-up risk left on your side. It moves to us.
