Risks covers what could go wrong, stated plainly: market, property, financing, development,
structural, and regulatory risks — kept whole in one place rather than scattered across other
categories.
An investor can lose money in a Direct-Hold Solution, and this category states how. Risks
covers what could go wrong across five areas — market and property, development and
construction, financing and interest rates, structure and regulation, and the offering
mechanism itself — kept whole in one place rather than scattered through the categories
they touch. Nothing here is a projection of likelihood; each article describes an exposure
and the structural features, if any, that bear on it.

## How risk is disclosed

The framework itself: how risk factors are grouped, what each disclosure is and is not
claiming, and the posture applied across every article in this category.

## Asset and development risk

Exposure attached to the building itself: vacancy, rent levels, valuation swings, and
tenant concentration once a building is operating, and cost overruns, delays, permitting,
and pre-leasing exposure while it is still being built.

- [[development-and-construction-risk]] — Construction cost overruns, delays, contractor risk, zoning and permitting risk, and pre-leasing exposure in ground-up development.
<!-- END AUTO-GENERATED -->

## Financing, structural, and offering risk

Exposure attached to how the investment is financed, organised, and sold: the terms
available when a completed building is mortgaged, the four legal and tax regimes the
vehicles operate under, and the illiquidity and concentration built into the mechanism by
design.
