Distressed Debt.
We acquire non-performing and sub-performing commercial real estate loans and pursue the right resolution, through to ownership.
Commercial Real Estate Special Situations.
We invest in commercial real estate opportunities created by complexity, transition, and event-driven situations.
Philosophy
Complexity creates opportunity.
Strong commercial real estate assets get overlooked when complexity obscures the path to them. Most buyers and lenders step aside.
We start there.
Representative Situations
The conditions we look for.
Maturing & Distressed Debt
Loan maturities, refinancing gaps, lender fatigue, non-performing and sub-performing loans.
Complex Ownership
Fractured ownership, generational transfers, estates, partnership realignments.
Environmental
Remediation obligations, regulatory exposure, historic industrial use.
Land Use & Entitlement
Non-conforming uses, entitlement hurdles, redevelopment constraints.
Transitional Assets
Vacancy, deferred maintenance, tenant instability, repositioning needs.
OUR EDGE
Seeing situations first.
Our edge begins with sourcing. We use data and AI to identify complex loan and property opportunities early, often before they reach the market.
Source early We surface distressed loans and complex properties ahead of the broader field.
