CAPITAL ADVISORY

Institutional capital formation and structuring expertise across markets, cycles, and borders.

MCP provides capital advisory services to sponsors, investors, and partners seeking disciplined structuring, thoughtful risk alignment, and institutional-quality execution across debt and equity capital markets.

Overview: What Capital Advisory Means at MCP

Capital Advisory at MCP is focused exclusively on capital formation, structuring, and investor alignment. The practice draws on decades of institutional experience across fund formation, project-specific capitalization, and complex cross-border investment structures.

MCP advises on both programmatic investment platforms and single-asset capitalizations, with a focus on aligning capital structure to project risk, investor mandate, and prevailing capital market conditions.

This advisory practice is grounded in real-world execution—developed through direct responsibility for some of the most complex real estate capital transactions globally.

Institutional Capital Experience

Prior to founding MCP, Douglas V. Moreland spent 15 years at Hines, where he worked extensively with leading institutional investors on both long-term fund strategies and project-specific capital assignments.

This experience includes participation in capital formation and asset-level execution involving institutions such as:

  • CalPERS (long-term core and hold strategies)

  • Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

  • Texas Teachers Retirement System

These relationships required disciplined underwriting, long-duration risk assessment, and structures aligned with institutional governance, reporting, and fiduciary standards.

Complex Project-Specific Capitalization

MCP advises on complex, project-specific capitalizations across land, office, hotel, multifamily, and retail assets, structuring both debt and equity to align with project risk, asset type, and prevailing capital market conditions. Assignments include ground-up development, repositioning, and mixed-use projects requiring bespoke capital solutions.

A representative example is One Vanderbilt, which included a $1.5 billion construction loan syndicated across more than 25 banks and a $500 million LP equity investment with the National Pension Service of Korea. This experience informs MCP’s disciplined approach to underwriting, structuring, and execution.

MCP is currently preparing new debt and equity investment vehicles utilizing Brazilian capital to invest in U.S. real estate opportunities.
