Our Work

Property Types

Multi-Family

We have closed countless multi-family loans from three units to large multi-building complexes. Benefit from our expertise and strong relationships with local banks, national banks, Wall Street conduits, insurance companies and non-bank lenders to ensure the best combination of loan proceeds, term and interest rates.

OFFICE

Our lending sources understand the intricacies of today’s dynamic office market whether it is absorption of vacant space, funds required for capital improvements and/or tenant installations or a complex ground lease. We will guide you through the issues to an optimal financing solution.

RETAIL

Retailing is constantly changing; change has only been accelerated by the rise of on-line shopping. Whether purchase or refinance, local or national, we have the financing solution for your needs.

HEALTHCARE

Financing nursing homes and assisted living facilities requires an understanding of the intersection of reimbursement, regulatory oversight, financial feasibility and financing. For any Borrower, purchasing the first facility is particularly daunting. We have launched many operators who now own and operate multiple facilities.

INDUSTRIAL

The inventory of older industrial buildings in the Northeast provides a steady supply of opportunities for re-positioning or adaptive reuse. The complexity of zoning and building department issues make conversions to residential, office, or retail use a challenging process. We can help you navigate the process to find the optimal financing for your project.

LAND

The process of taking raw land to a fully entitled development site poses unique challenges in every municipality. Typical issues include zoning, environmental, wetlands, drainage, street widening, and siteplan approval. Whether bank, non-bank or hedge fund, we know the Lender who will fund your site in any stage of the approval process.

Loan Types

REFINANCE

Refinancing can lower your interest rate and monthly payment, lengthen your loan maturity and/or provide cash out for other investments. We closely follow market conditions to find interest only solutions. Our lending network includes local banks, Wall Street for conduit (CMBS) loans, and insurance companies. In some cases non-bank lenders, such as national finance companies, provide the optimal solution.

ACQUISITION FINANCING

The optimal solution to finance a purchase may be a permanent loan, a bridge loan or a construction loan. For time sensitive transactions, a hard money loan from one of our non-bank lenders—whether institutional or private—may be the optimal solution. For structured transactions, we can layer in a mezzanine loan and/or institutional equity.

CONSTRUCTION LOANS

Whether it is ground-up construction or renovation, we can provide a great solution for $1mm or $100mm. In some cases, the best solution is a construction loan where the Lender agrees in advance to convert to a permanent loan.

HARD MONEY LOANS

Private transactions arranged through our network of lenders to facilitate immediate closings. Typically appraisals or third party reports are not required. We underwrite the transaction to expedite an immediate decision by the lender leading to an immediate closing.

CREDIT LEASE FINANCING

Properties with long term leases to investment grade or non-investment grade tenants. Loan terms vary from ten years to thirty years, depending on the length of the lease, the credit of the tenant and the quality of the real estate.

BRIDGE LOANS

Short term loans, usually one to three years, for properties in transition including curing deferred maintenance, renovations, expansion, lease-up, or re-positioning. We find the Lender who understands the underlying value in the real estate, overlooks the immediate problems, and offers the best financing solution for your needs.

MEZZANINE LOANS

Subordinate to the senior debt and secured by an assignment of partnership interests. We structure mezzanine loans to obtain higher cash proceeds than are typically available from senior lenders. We have sources of mezzanine loans for stabilized properties, properties in transition, and new construction.
