A floor grows in a quarter.
It takes fifty years to care for it.

Five Decades is our name and our time horizon. Self-replicating construction can add a floor to a city in a quarter; it does not automatically pay for fifty years of upkeep. We began with that gap.

1. 01

   Fifty-year terms

   Each fund runs for exactly fifty years. A new fund begins every decade. When the first closes and the sixth takes over, five remain in operation.

2. 02

   Obligations travel with assets

   Every investment carries a named maintenance obligation throughout its term. At expiry it goes to a named successor; it cannot be abandoned.

3. 03

   Returns and losses have names

   The ledger names who receives returns and who bears bad debt. Holders share non-revenue obligations pro rata.

4. 04

   No ultimate control

   Public institutions retain ultimate control and the right to shut down city facilities. Our voting rights never exceed one third in any asset.

5. 05

   Neutrality

   No single signatory bloc contributes more than 15% to any fund vintage.
