LP investment question

Hello, looking for some guidance on a potential LP opportunity. Original materials said GP would contribute around 35% of the equity. 7.5% preferred return then 70% (GP) / 30% (LP) after pref. On refi or sale it goes to 75% / 25% after 15% IRR to LP.

what are overall thoughts on this structure? When I ran the waterfall I was ok with it even though it seems unique. But I think a GP putting in this much capital is unique (at least to me). However, as we approach the funding date, I asked the GP what the latest projections for the capital stack were. He stated the GPs may only be in for 25% of the equity now. Does it make sense for the GP to still be receiving 70/30 or 75/25 if they are putting in less equity?

thanks for any help.

Does this mean LP as in pension fund, or LP as in allocator manager, with GP being the operator / developer ?

 

Thanks. Just to be clear it's 70%/75% to the sponsor not the LPs. I think the minimum 15% irr gets me to a decent place, but do you still think these are favorable splits to LP?

You sure it’s not the other way? Seems super off market to me but I’m still learning
