Walton Global Announces Expansion of Finished Lot Program with GoldenTree Asset Management

Financing to Support Critical Housing Development Across the U.S.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Walton Global (“Walton”), a leader in real estate investment and land asset management, has executed a substantial commitment with GoldenTree Asset Management (“GoldenTree”), a global asset management firm with a track record in alternative credit strategies. The partnership will spur co-investment in lot banking transactions in high-growth corridors across key U.S. markets and support the expansion of Walton’s Finished Lot Program, a central component of the broader Builder Land Financing strategy.

When builders lack stable and secure access to land capital, housing delivery timelines can be disrupted. GoldenTree’s commitment aims to address housing supply constraints in the U.S. by supporting disciplined land inventory strategies for homebuilders. Together, Walton and GoldenTree will deploy capital into transactions in markets with strong demographic and employment growth facilitating the development of new housing in the regions where demand is most pronounced.

Walton’s performance in this space has been marked by success, with the completion of six full-cycle communities, the recent closure of its 28^th acquisition under the program, and a robust pipeline of opportunities in place for future investment. Through this commitment, Walton’s funds will also have opportunities to co-invest, further enhancing the scale of the Finished Lot Program.

“Working with GoldenTree advances our objective of supporting our homebuilder clients in delivering high quality, much-needed housing to the market,” said Jordan McKenzie, Executive Vice President of Finance & Portfolio Management at Walton Global. “We are focused on providing funding for near-term residential finished lot opportunities in U.S. markets that align with our identified drivers for growth.”

International law firm Squire Patton Boggs served as legal counsel to Walton. Cedar Porch Capital served as advisor to Walton.
