Flexible and Rapid Solutions For Borrowers
Palladius pursues debt investments by originating senior secured loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments for the construction, acquisition, and refinancing of commercial real estate, and by acquiring non-performing loans and preferred equity investments. As a lender, Palladius is a valued partner to both institutional sponsors and leading independent developers, known for speed, flexibility, and certainty of execution in complex situations.
Flexible Solutions
We invest our capital in the range of $2-$25M per loan transaction, and our investment terms range from 6 to 36 months. We are committed to customized solutions that help our clients execute business plans and short/long-term goals.
Rapid Engagement
We understand that speed can be the difference between making or breaking an opportunity. Palladius is geared to move quickly to help our borrowers realize on their opportunities. This includes pre-funding analysis, due diligence, and post-funding loan servicing, draw administration, and asset management.
Trusted Partner
Delivering certainty of execution and building trust with borrowers are paramount to everything we do. It means listening, understanding, and helping borrowers think through the risks and opportunities associated with each investment, and then being there for them when it comes time to realize on the opportunity. Real estate investments can sometimes be complicated, and we want borrowers to think of our team as an extension of their own to solve problems.
Dedicated Underwriting & Loan Management
Our underwriting, due diligence, loan servicing, draw administration, and asset management teams are internal and captive to Palladius. We don’t outsource these critical functions. Palladius’ interests are always aligned with the success of our clients, and every person at Palladius is incentivized to advance our goal of being our clients’ trusted partners.
Geographic Expertise
We invest across the US, in both larger and smaller metros. Our team has decades of experience and geographic knowledge, which allows us to move quickly to underwrite lending opportunities alongside clients and devise creative solutions based upon historic and prospective macro and microeconomic changes to the region.
Broad Asset Class Expertise
We invest in both new construction and existing assets, including entitled land for development in special situations. While the bulk of our portfolio will always be invested in multifamily and larger-scale residential/housing, we also understand and invest in all major commercial real estate asset classes, including retail, office, industrial, self-storage, hospitality, student, and seniors’ housing.
Our Markets
We invest throughout the United States, with experienced sponsors that have proven track records, unique opportunities, and rigorously demonstrated business plans.
