How we engage.
Four ways into a transaction, and one standard for getting into it. Where we sit in a deal is a function of what the situation needs — not of what we are licensed to sell.
Across the
capital stack.
We are structurally indifferent to which seat we take. That indifference is the point: the recommendation is not a function of how we get paid.
Principal investment
We invest alongside our capital partners, beginning with the capital we commit to sourcing, screening, and diligencing every opportunity we bring.
Co-development / joint venture
Partnership with management teams and platforms at the development stage, where capital that moves at development speed captures the return before institutional competition arrives.
M&A advisory
Assisting asset owners in maximizing value from their assets, and origination and execution for strategic and financial acquirers, including bilateral situations sourced through our own network.
Capital raising / placement
Debt and equity placement for platforms, sponsors, and developers, at both project and platform level.
From first look
to financial close.
Infrastructure diligence is not a data-room exercise. The work is establishing which milestones are genuinely complete and what the remaining path actually costs — then compressing it.
Source & screen
Sourcing through operating relationships — developers, management teams, operators, and strategics. Certain opportunities may be sourced before a broader auction process.
Embed & accelerate
We embed with management teams and drive commercial, financial, and technical workstreams in parallel — compressing the path from development position to FID.
Structure & execute
Capital stack, sponsor economics, and downside protection built around the specific development risk that actually remains. A single firm-wide screen governs the go/no-go.
Deliver & scale
Support the transaction through the financial-closing process, then platform growth through additional acquisition and development inside the vertical.
The gate is the
hold-period return.
A single firm-wide screen applies across all four verticals. Blowdown economics are a secondary target, never the decision. Where a deal cannot clear the screen on the hold period alone, it does not clear.
What is in scope.
| Vertical | Sector focus | Geography |
|---|---|---|
| NorthPower | Conventional power; competitive/merchant generation and utility-dominant regulated markets | United States — nationwide |
| NorthDigital | Data center power co-development across competitive and regulated markets | United States — nationwide |
| NorthWater | Water treatment M&A and platform consolidation | United States |
| NorthLogistics | Differentiated midstream: islanded refined-products markets, adjacent water services, power-integrated CO2 | Islanded U.S. markets (e.g. Florida, Desert Southwest) and CO2 corridors |
Bring us a situation.
We look at power, digital infrastructure, water, and midstream opportunities across the United States — as principal, co-developer, or adviser.
