Who We Are
Private capital with a hands-on real estate perspective.
Meadow Highlands, LLC is a privately held real estate holding company based in Orange County, California. Led by Managing Partner Sergio Sanchez, Meadow Highlands invests its own capital and evaluates opportunities directly.
Our approach combines direct decision-making, construction and engineering experience, entitlement and development knowledge, and a long-term perspective on real estate value.
About Meadow Highlands →Direct Decisions
Opportunities are evaluated directly without an outside board or advisory committee approval process.
Hands-On Execution
Construction, engineering, entitlement, and development experience informs how opportunities are evaluated.
Long-Term Perspective
Properties are acquired for development, repositioning, entitlement, or long-term hold strategies.
Case-by-Case Review
We consider opportunities uniquely rather than relying on a rigid one-size-fits-all buy box.
What We Do
Three capabilities. One consistent real estate strategy.
Our public positioning stays intentionally focused: acquire compelling real estate, understand the entitlement path, and execute development where it creates value.
Land & Value-Add Acquisitions
Vacant land, large acreage, and existing properties where redevelopment, repositioning, or improved operations may create value.
Learn more →Entitlements
Evaluating zoning, development potential, site constraints, and entitlement pathways for land and redevelopment opportunities.
Learn more →Development
Hands-on development and construction perspective focused on translating a real estate opportunity into an executable plan.
Learn more →Investment Criteria
A clear starting point for owners and deal professionals.
Our criteria are designed to help identify potential fit, not eliminate unusual opportunities. We encourage submissions when there is a compelling real estate story.
United States & Mexico
We evaluate opportunities across the U.S. and Mexico, with particular interest in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Illinois, Florida, northern New Jersey, and coastal Baja California.
Land & Value-Add Real Estate
Residential and industrial land, large acreage and ranch properties, infill opportunities, and existing buildings with redevelopment or repositioning potential.
No Fixed Minimum or Maximum
There is no minimum or maximum deal size. Every opportunity is evaluated individually based on the property, location, structure, and potential.
Submit All Land Opportunities
Acreage, terrain, zoning, entitlement status, access, utilities, and location are considered as part of the overall opportunity.
Complexity Can Create Opportunity
Below-market rents, significant deferred maintenance, redevelopment potential, and situations where an all-cash buyer or accelerated closing schedule is important.
Direct Purchase Preferred
We generally prefer to acquire properties outright without partners, while remaining open to joint ventures or partnerships on a case-by-case basis.
Selected Projects / Experience
Meadow Highlands investments in land, entitlements, and long-term value.
Current projects illustrate how our strategy ranges from industrial land and entitlement work to large-acreage long-term holds.
The Meadow Highlands Approach
How we evaluate and execute.
Disciplined Acquisition
We focus on the underlying real estate, the transaction structure, and a clear path to potential value creation.
Creative Problem Solving
Complex sites, entitlement questions, deferred maintenance, and redevelopment constraints are evaluated as part of the opportunity.
Entitlement Expertise
We consider zoning, land use, site constraints, and the steps required to position a property for development.
Hands-On Execution
Construction and engineering experience brings an execution-oriented perspective to real estate decisions.
Long-Term Perspective
Not every opportunity requires an immediate development plan. Long-term ownership can be part of the strategy.
Who We Work With
Different audiences, clear pathways.
Owners, brokers, and select operating or development partners approach opportunities differently, so our website gives each professional a clear place to start.
