Commercial Real Estate Specialty Financing Solutions: Bridge, Construction, Mezzanine, EB5, Preferred Equity, C-PACE & Net Lease Lending.

In today’s competitive commercial real estate market, access to flexible and structured capital is often the difference between closing a deal and missing an opportunity.

Our platform connects sponsors, developers, and investors with over 165+ active lending sources, ranging from private capital groups to institutional lenders, allowing us to structure transactions from $500,000 to $250 million+.

Bridge Loans: Fast, Flexible Capital for Time-Sensitive Opportunities

Bridge financing is designed for investors who need short-term capital to acquire, reposition, or stabilize a property.

Typical use cases include:

• Acquisitions needing quick closing

• Value-add repositioning strategies

• Lease-up or stabilization periods

• Refinancing maturing debt

Key advantages:

• Fast closings (often 7–21 days)

• Interest-only payments

• Flexible underwriting based on asset value and exit strategy

Bridge loans are ideal when timing matters more than long-term fixed-rate certainty.

Construction Loans: Funding Ground-Up Development

Construction financing supports ground-up development or major redevelopment projects across all commercial asset classes including multifamily, retail, industrial, hospitality, and mixed-use.

Core features:

• Financing based on LTC (Loan-to-Cost) and projected value

• Interest-only during construction phase

• Draw-based funding system

• Options for mini-perm or permanent takeout loans

We structure both speculative and pre-leased construction financing depending on project strength and sponsor experience.

Mezzanine Debt: Filling the Capital Gap

Mezzanine financing sits between senior debt and equity, allowing developers to increase leverage without diluting ownership significantly.

Common applications:

• Increasing leverage beyond senior loan limits

• Bridging equity shortfalls

• Enhancing project returns

Mezzanine capital is typically secured by a pledge of ownership interests rather than a first lien on the property, making it a powerful tool in layered capital stacks.

Preferred Equity: Flexible Capital Without Ownership Control

Preferred equity is a hybrid financing solution that behaves like equity but has debt-like return structures.

Key benefits:

• No voting control dilution

• Fixed or preferred return structure

• Flexible exit structures tied to refinancing or sale

Preferred equity is frequently used in large development projects, value-add acquisitions, and recapitalizations where sponsors want to preserve control while increasing leverage.

C-PACE Financing: Long-Term, Low-Cost Energy Efficiency Capital

C-PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing provides long-term funding for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and resilience improvements.

Typical uses include:

• HVAC upgrades

• Solar installations

• Roof and building envelope improvements

• Water efficiency systems

Advantages:

• Long amortization (often 20–30 years)

• Fixed-rate structure

• Non-recourse and transferable upon sale

C-PACE is an increasingly popular tool for reducing operating expenses while improving property value and ESG compliance.

Net Lease Financing: Stable Cash Flow Investment Lending

Net lease financing supports properties leased under long-term NNN structures, where tenants cover taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

Common property types:

• Retail net lease (drugstores, QSRs, credit tenants)

• Industrial single-tenant assets

• Medical and corporate office facilities

Lenders favor net lease assets due to:

• Predictable cash flow

• Strong tenant credit profiles

• Long-term lease stability

We provide financing solutions for both acquisition and refinance of stabilized net lease properties nationwide.
