Our mission is to provide builders, real estate developers, business owners, and real estate investors access to a full range of commercial real estate and business financing as well as private equity solutions. Besides our own source of funds, we locate capital using our network of private lenders, pension funds, hedge funds, banks, and other financial institutions.
A significant number of our transactions incorporate various finance structures for real estate projects. These structures include:
Land financing
Acquisition and development loans
Private equity
Mezzanine financing
Bridge loans
Hard money loans
Credit tenant financing

We currently are developing several real estate projects. The largest of these projects is a master plan redevelopment Gary, Indiana. This project will total over $200 million and take five years to complete. For more information on this project, please click here.
In addition to real estate projects, many of our investors will finance non-real estate transactions for established companies generating positive revenue. These projects can be structured as debt, equity, convertible debt, or purchase order finance.
