MANTRA IS A PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM that provides long-term sale-leaseback and build-to-suit financing for universities. Focused solely on investing in higher education, Mantra partners with its academic clients to provide innovative and customized solutions to address their economic needs.

As a result, we relieve universities of the cost burden associated with large capital expenditures, and we shift the financial risk from their balance sheet to ours. Mantra uses its own capital — 100% — to either develop new facilities or renovate and reprogram existing ones. Most importantly, Mantra funds maintenance and operations reserves so that university staff will manage and operate the facility — not a third party.

Partnering with Mantra means you get to innovate without hesitation, and we think that's good business in any economy.
