Even if I was the senior lender for one of the new developments, in a downside scenario I wouldn't know what to do with the land / the half-finished or finished (but unsale-able for whatever reason) inventory.Therefore - I don't want to invest / make a loan in the development JV itself - I would rather make a loan at the parent-co level where there is collateral in the form of completed properties that are generating rental cash flow - they do have mortgages on them.
