Aligned Real Estate Capital is focused on the acquisition, development and management of a diverse portfolio of chain restaurant and retail / essential service net lease properties capable of supporting strong, consistent cash flow generation and long-term appreciation. We employ a uniquely differentiated approach and strategy designed to structure valuable solutions for tenants while delivering exceptional returns to investors through value-added, short-duration investments.
Aligned Real Estate Capital ("AREC") is a real estate investment platform purpose-built for the franchise and independent operator economy. We bridge the gap between institutional capital and the operational realities of franchise businesses by aligning real estate capital directly with franchise operators.
Aligned Real Estate Capital was formed to provide flexible, aligned real estate capital to lower-middle-market franchise and independent operators
The business targets operators who lack consistent access to institutional capital or where institutional buyers would otherwise create excess pricing spread to one-off transactions either because of the perceived credit quality of the operating business (sub-investment grade) or because of the size of the transaction (sub-$15 million)
AREC focuses on partnership-oriented capital solutions that support growth, liquidity, and portfolio optimization
The platform is built to execute repeatable transactions that align real estate capital with the long-term operating performance of the franchisee or operator
Operators are incentivized to participate in the real transactions, better aligning interests
Lease terms are consistent, repeatable, and provide better protections to the operator, and are accepted broadly by the owner-investor market
The platform combines hands-on operational expertise with rigorous credit and real estate analysis to support scalable growth and long-term operational resilience
The investment structure is designed to deliver institutional-quality underwriting, disciplined risk management, and transparent reporting while remaining flexible to the needs of growing franchise operators
AREC prioritizes repeatability and scalability across multi-unit portfolios, creating efficiency for both operators and capital partners
Aligned Real Estate Capital builds on the experience and track record of Tasty Real Estate Group, which previously executed over $160 million of transactions.

Monetizing real estate to accelerate operator growth.
AREC converts owned real estate into strategic growth capital while preserving operational continuity. Our flexible lease structures and middle-market focus create alignment between durable real estate fundamentals and operator expansion.
A sale-leaseback pairs an operator with a real estate capital partner to acquire a business and put long-term leases in place for the operating assets
AREC provides growth-oriented capital that unlocks embedded value, improves acquisition economics, and redeploys capital into core operations
Restructuring for stability, alignment, and long-term value.
AREC partners with operators to reset lease terms in exchange for extended duration and improved credit visibility. This strategy enhances cash flow durability while strengthening long-term real estate value and tenant alignment.
An amend & extend is a negotiated lease restructuring in which landlord and tenant reset rent and extend the term in exchange for updated economics
These transactions are typically executed through ROFR / ROFO provisions, or AREC will proactively source them on behalf of tenants.
