Executive summary

FlexCaves–KC1, LLC (the “Company”) was formed to develop, construct, lease, and operate FlexCaves Martin City (the “Project”) located at 300 E. 135th St., Kansas City, MO, 64145 in the Martin City submarket of Kansas City, Missouri. The Project consists of approximately 84,450 rentable square feet across 51 premium flex-use units designed to combine workspace, storage, showroom, and lifestyle functionality in a higher-finish environment intended to serve professionals, contractors, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, collectors, and small businesses.

The Project is being developed under the FlexCaves brand platform, which is designed as a scalable flex-use real estate concept combining elements of industrial, showroom, warehouse, and lifestyle-oriented commercial real estate. The Martin City development represents the first planned deployment of the broader FlexCaves platform.

The total anticipated Project capitalization is approximately $20.5 million, consisting of a combination of investor equity and senior construction financing. The Company is seeking $6.5 million in investor equity commitments through this offering. Construction is expected to be completed pursuant to a fixed-price Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) construction contract.

The sponsorship team is led by Brett Johnson and Pat Beatty, who previously co-founded and operated Overland Property Group, a real estate development platform that completed more than 70 ground-up projects representing over $800 million in completed real estate value across multiple states prior to the sale of that platform in 2020.

About the developer

FlexCaves is sponsored by a development team with a long-standing record of delivering complex real estate projects through multiple market cycles, backed by institutional capital and disciplined execution.

The platform is led by Brett Johnson, CEO & President of Cave Development, in partnership with Pat Beatty, whose combined experience spans development, capital markets, construction oversight, and investor stewardship at scale.

Brett and Pat co-founded Overland Property Group (OPG) in 2005 and helped build it into a recognized real estate platform across the Midwest and Texas. Over that period, the team developed 70+ ground-up projects, delivering more than $800 million in total real estate value across affordable housing, market-rate multifamily, senior housing, and historic redevelopment. The platform expanded across nine states, encompassing more than 5,000 residential units, and earned national recognition for quality, execution, and community impact.

In 2020, Overland Property Group was acquired by a hedge fund, following a successful platform acquisition and the strength of the operating model. The platform continues to operate and grow today on the foundation established during the sponsor’s tenure.

Overland Property Group  collected numerous awards including the prestigious Readers’ Choice Finalist, which is voted on by Affordable Housing Developers (our competitors), the Colorado Governor’s Award for Historic Preservation as well as:

  • 2024    Novogradac Developments of Distinction
  • 2023    Top 50 Affordable Housing Developers
  • 2021    Kansas Preservation Alliance Award Winner, Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Award, 50 Kansans You Should Know - Pat Beatty and Colorado Eagle Award Nominee

Continuity into FlexCaves

FlexCaves is not a departure from this history—it is an evolution of it. The same discipline, transparency, and sponsor mindset that earned institutional relationships and enabled large-scale execution now underpin the FlexCaves platform. While the product is new, the people, processes, and standards behind it are well established.

Throughout their history, the Brett and Pat served not only as developers but as true partners to institutional capital. Financial institutions such as Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, American Express, and Capital One participated alongside the sponsor as equity partners, not merely lenders. These institutions committed their own capital based on confidence in the sponsor’s underwriting, governance, and ability to deliver projects on time, on budget, and exactly as promised.

Across multiple market cycles, they have never failed to complete a project, never defaulted, and never missed a commitment to capital partners. That track record of consistency and accountability forms the foundation of the FlexCaves platform today.

Construction Execution & Risk Control

FlexCaves Martin City is being delivered in partnership with ARCO, a national top-five design/build firm with more than 30 years of experience and 6,000+ completed projects nationwide. A fixed-price Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) construction contract of $16.5 million is in place, locking pricing and scope prior to closing and materially reducing cost-overrun risk.

Entitlements and design are complete, and the project is currently in permit review, with approvals anticipated for a May 2026 closing and groundbreaking. Construction is planned as a seven-month build, targeting Certificate of Occupancy in late 2026. This level of execution readiness places FlexCaves in a fundamentally different risk category than early-stage or conceptual developments.

About the Finances

The total anticipated capitalization for the Project is approximately $20.5 million. The Company expects the majority of the Project costs to be financed through a combination of investor equity and senior secured construction financing. The Company is seeking $6.5 million in investor equity commitments, through purchases of Class A Interests in this Offering, while sponsor capital contributions (Class B / Sponsor shares) are expected to be contributed through affiliated GP entities and related sponsor vehicles.

The balance of required project capital is expected to be funded through a senior construction loan and related financing arrangements, in order to fund a substantial portion of the acquisition, development, and construction costs associated with the Project.

Final financing amounts, leverage levels, reserve requirements, loan proceeds, and sponsor contribution obligations remain subject to lender underwriting, appraisal, final project budgeting, and negotiation of definitive loan documentation.

The chart below shows how the costs are expected to be financed:

Source of Capital Estimated Amount
Class A Investor Equity Offering Proceeds $6,500,000
Class B/ Sponsor / GP Equity Contributions $250,000
Senior Construction Loan $13,750,000
Total Sources of Capital $20,500,000


The Company may revise the financing structure described above based on lender requirements, market conditions, construction pricing, timing considerations, or other factors affecting the Project.

The financing structure is intended to provide sufficient capital for all development related activities including land acquisition, pre-development and entitlement costs, architecture and engineering, hard construction costs, interest reserves, contingencies, leasing and marketing costs, capitalized operating reserves, and other project-related expenses.

The Company expects to utilize moderate leverage relative to total project capitalization. The Company believes the use of a fixed-price GMP construction contract is intended to reduce exposure to construction cost escalation and budget uncertainty during development.

The chart below shows the total anticipated cost of the project:

Project Cost Category Estimated Amount
Land Acquisition & Closing Costs $1,250,000
Pre-Development, Due Diligence & Entitlement Costs $325,000
Architecture, Engineering & Consultant Costs $475,000
Legal, Accounting, Permitting & Organizational Costs $350,000
Hard Construction Costs (ARCO GMP Contract) $16,500,000
Developer Fees $700,000
Financing Costs, Loan Fees & Interest Reserve $500,000
Leasing, Branding & Marketing $125,000
Project Contingency Reserve $225,000
Working Capital & Operating Reserves $50,000
Total Estimated Project Cost $20,500,000

The project budget above is based upon current construction pricing, consultant estimates, anticipated financing assumptions, and sponsor projections. Certain figures are preliminary and remain subject to adjustment based on final lender underwriting, permit approvals, construction scheduling, reserve requirements, and completion of definitive agreements. The Company expects the Project to be constructed pursuant to a fixed-price GMP construction contract intended to reduce exposure to material construction pricing volatility during the construction period.

Note: Detailed Sources & Uses schedules remain subject to final lender underwriting, completion of definitive construction budgets, and finalization of financing documentation.

Principal Terms of Bank Loan

The Company anticipates obtaining a senior secured construction loan from a commercial lender to finance a substantial portion of the Project costs. Final financing terms have not yet been finalized and remain subject to lender underwriting, appraisal, due diligence, satisfaction of closing conditions, and negotiation of definitive loan documentation. The anticipated construction financing is expected to include substantially the following characteristics:

Anticipated Loan Term Preliminary Expectation
Loan Type Senior secured construction loan
Collateral First priority lien on Project assets and related collateral
Purpose Fund acquisition, construction, reserves, and approved project costs
Recourse Expected to include certain completion and “bad boy” guaranties
Interest Payments Interest-only during construction, subject to lender terms
Maturity Expected following construction completion and stabilization
Reserves Lender-required reserves and contingency accounts anticipated
Conditions Subject to customary lender underwriting and closing conditions


The anticipated construction lender may require guarantees, indemnities, completion obligations, environmental obligations, “bad boy” carveout guaranties, or other credit support from sponsor affiliates or third parties as a condition to financing. The Company may compensate parties providing such guaranties or credit support arrangements in amounts determined by the Manager to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that financing will ultimately be obtained on the terms described above, or at all.

About the market

FlexCaves Kansas City is located within a niche flex-space submarket benefiting from proximity to affluent Kansas City-area communities including Loch Lloyd, Leawood, and Hallbrook. Local demographics reflect median household income of approximately $103,000 and median household net worth approaching approximately $580,000 within a five-minute drive area of the Property.

The Company believes the Martin City submarket presents an opportunity for a differentiated premium flex-use product due to limited new supply, relatively low vacancy, and demand from higher-income residential and professional demographics in the surrounding area.

There are approximately 32 flex buildings located within a fifteen-minute drive radius, totaling approximately 201,000 square feet, with no new flex construction underway at the time of the market analysis.  Within a thirty-minute radius, approximately 253 flex buildings totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet were identified, again with no flex square footage reportedly under construction at that time.

Market vacancy rates for comparable flex products are estimated at approximately 3.2% to 3.7%, with annual rent growth estimates in the range of approximately 5.0% to 5.2%. Our project is expected to command rental rates above prevailing market averages due to its proposed design, location, finish level, and branding characteristics.
