How would you consider structuring this multimillion dollar deal?

Good day everyone! How would you consider structuring this deal?

The narrative...

We currently have a successfully operating retail based business. Recently, rather than continue to lease properties we operate our businesses out of, we are looking to purchase the real estate to add value and build equity. The first couple deals we've completed were rather straightforward, because we (the operating business) personally made the investment, and used more traditional bank commercial lending/mortgage. We've just recently identified a new location we'd like to expand into, and the current owner is willing to sell the real estate, for $8.5 million.

Because we are currently tied up in other deals, and have to close on this deal rather fast, we are looking for outside investors.

With that being said, our plan would be to purchase the real estate, and make approximately $4 million dollars in capital improvements and expansion. This should easily increase the value of the real estate to upwards of $15 million. We then want to operate our own business out of the space, so could essentially complete a lease agreement with ourselves+investors who would now be the landlord.

A few additional notes:

*We do have capital and could contribute a portion of the investment into the real estate, if this would be necessary

*We personally own a development.construction company, so would be completing the capital improvements ourselves

While there are a handful of ways to structure this, how would you personally tackle it, and tends to be the best way to approach this type of deal?

Thanks!
