Our approach
Land is worth what it can become. The best way to realize that value is to own it whole and hold it for a long time.
Buy land for what it can become
Smart investors rarely buy land for its present use. They buy it for what it can be developed into. For a large western landholding, that means a working forest that is replanted and grows in value, mineral ground that is developed carefully, and an industrial base that brings work to rural communities.
Most people look at cutover hills or idle ground and see what is missing. We look for what can grow there: new forest, new supply chains and jobs the next generation can build careers on.
Own the whole estate
In much of the western United States, the rights to a property can be divided. One party may own the surface and the timber, another the minerals underneath. When those rights sit with different owners, plans collide: a harvest schedule, a road, a drilling program and a reclamation plan can all compete for the same ground.
Alliance Global pursues landholdings where the timber and the mineral rights can be held together, so that one plan governs the whole property.
Think in generations
Timber is measured in rotations of several decades, and mineral development in phases that can run for a generation or more. We plan on the same horizon. That means patient capital, careful sequencing, and decisions made with the people who will own and work this land after us in mind.
Stewardship principles
Six commitments that shape every plan we make for the land we hold.
Replant what we harvest
Harvested ground is reforested, so the forest keeps growing for whoever owns it next.
Keep the footprint small
Mineral work starts in small, defined areas and expands only as each phase proves itself.
Protect water first
Streams, wetlands and springs are mapped before any road or pad is planned, with buffers built into the plan.
Permit before we promise
No work begins until the permits it requires are in hand.
Reclaim as we go
Disturbed ground is closed and restored as work moves on, not left for the end.
Hire close to home
Local contractors, mills and crews come first, so the value of the land stays in the region.
Long-term family generational holdings
DRSS, C&E Family Holdings
Alliance Global is held by DRSS, C&E Family Holdings, a family holding built to own land across generations. It assembles large timber and mineral landholdings and builds the industrial alliances needed to put them to productive use.
Its view of land is long term: buy it for what it can become, develop it with care, and leave it more productive than it was found.
