Specialized Expertise in Mexican Investment
Years Operating
Three Decades of Mexico Investment Expertise
New Harbor was founded on a simple conviction: Mexico’s real estate markets offer compelling, risk-adjusted returns but only for operators who truly understand the landscape.
Our founding partners, Laurent and Madison Poole, have spent more than 30 years working, and building relationships across Mexico. These deep market relationships give us access to deal flow, developer networks, and local market intelligence that offshore investors simply can’t replicate.
Coming from a developer pedigree, we approach underwriting both from a developer’s and lender’s perspective. We know that we can take over and complete any development if necessary. We’re not passive allocators. We source our own deals, structure our own security, apply currency hedges where necessary and manage our investments hands-on. From origination through repayment. Every dollar we deploy is backed by first-position collateral, rigorous underwriting, and direct oversight.
A Market Hiding in Plain Sight
For most U.S. investors, Mexico is overlooked, dismissed as too unfamiliar or too risky. The reality is different. Mexico is the United States’ largest trading partner. Its economy is the 12th largest in the world. And its urban real estate markets, particularly Mexico City, Guadalajara, and resort corridors are experiencing sustained demand driven by population growth, tourism, and nearshoring.
What’s missing isn’t opportunity. It’s access. Local banks are structurally constrained. They are unable to provide the flexible, timely financing that top-tier developers need. That gap is where New Harbor operates.
We provide senior-secured debt to proven developers building in Mexico’s highest-demand submarkets. Our investors get superior returns with downside protection. The developers secure capital that the local banking system can’t provide. It works because we bring a U.S. investment perspective to the Mexican market.
A Disciplined Approach
Secured Real Estate Financing
Every investment is backed by secured real estate collateral. We don't take equity risk, we lend throughout the debt stack to optimize investor returns.
In Depth Underwriting
We do a fulsome underwriting analysis of every project, combining in person site visits, third-party reports and market analysis. Our team physically inspects every site, vets every developer relationship, and monitors construction progress directly.
Proven Developer Partnerships
We work exclusively with established developers who have track records of performance. Our repeat relationships are built over decades and give us preferred access to high-quality deal flow and introductions to other top tier operators.
Our Network
New Harbor works with leading institutions in accounting, legal, banking, and fund administration. Our relationships with firms like EY, BBVA, and Wilmer Hale reflect the institutional standards we bring to every investment.
