A joint venture agreement is a contract that sets out ownership, governance, contributions, profits, and exit rights among parties involved in a real estate project.
Typically, developers, investors, lenders, and operators participate in a JV to combine capital, expertise, and risk management.
A comprehensive JV agreement should cover structure, funding, decision-making, dispute resolution, and exit provisions.
Profits are usually distributed according to ownership interests or predetermined waterfall mechanisms, with expenses allocated as defined in the agreement.
Exit can be achieved through sale, buyout, or project dissolution, with terms governing timing and distribution of proceeds.
Governing law is typically California law, and the governing jurisdiction is often the location of the project or the parties.
Many JV agreements include mediation or arbitration clauses to encourage efficient resolution without litigation.
JV terms may be updated as projects evolve, reflecting changes in capital, scope, or regulatory requirements.
JV durations vary, but many run through development and stabilization phases, with options to extend or terminate.
Typically, the law firm or in-house counsel drafts the JV agreement in collaboration with all participants.
