PPR Opportunity Fund II review: a trusted note sponsor’s move into car wash development

What the fund is

PPR Opportunity Fund II invests in operating businesses backed by real estate: specifically, seven Tommy’s Express car washes in various phases of development across growing U.S. markets. PPR is partnering with Olympus Pines, described as the Tommy’s Express franchise’s largest operator, and the fund owns both the operating businesses and the underlying real estate.

PPR describes the fund as a capital appreciation strategy with cash flow that ramps up as sites stabilize, followed by an anticipated sale of the whole portfolio. It is the second fund in PPR’s Opportunity series, after the original PPR Opportunity Fund.

As a private placement, the fund’s full terms are in its offering documents. This review lists what to request rather than treating unpublished detail as a weakness.

The sponsor

PPR Capital Management, based in Wayne, Pennsylvania, was founded in 2007 and built its reputation buying non-performing residential mortgages at a discount. It reports about $1.55 billion of assets under management, more than 2,000 accredited investors and about 40 team members, and has expanded into multifamily, build-to-rent housing and now car washes. We reviewed PPR’s new Cornerstone Home Lending Fund separately and found a long record of consistent investor payments and strong reviews.

Terms

• Eligibility: qualified purchasers only, generally individuals with at least $5 million in investments, a stricter test than accredited investor status.
• Minimum investment: $150,000, as of mid-2026.
• Preferred return: 10%, accrued rather than necessarily paid currently.
• Target return: 16% or more.
• Hold period: 5 to 7 years.
• Tax: PPR markets potential accelerated depreciation benefits; self-directed retirement accounts are accepted.

How the strategy works

Express car washes combine real estate with a subscription-style operating business: customers pay monthly memberships for unlimited washes. Revenue depends on how quickly each new site builds membership, how well it is run, and how many competing washes open nearby. The express car wash industry has grown rapidly, which creates opportunity but also raises the risk of oversupply in some markets.

By owning the land, building and business, the fund captures more of the upside, and car wash real estate can qualify for accelerated depreciation. In exchange, it takes on construction, staffing and operating risk that PPR’s mortgage note funds do not.

Claims versus records

Key risks

• Development risk: sites in various phases of construction can face delays and cost overruns.
• Ramp-up risk: new washes need time to build memberships, and some may underperform.
• Competition: rapid industry expansion can saturate local markets.
• New strategy for PPR: its long record is in mortgage notes, not operating businesses.
• Operator dependence: results depend heavily on Olympus Pines.
• Accrued, not paid: the 10% preferred return may build up rather than be paid out during development.
• Illiquidity: a 5 to 7 year hold with exit dependent on a portfolio sale.
