Non Traditional Capital Sources Flourish at Carlton
August 8, 2011
The recent economic shockwaves are causing panic throughout the CMBS market with loan levels coming down and spreads widening. This market nuance does not change the fact that there is close to one trillion dollars in maturing mortgages this year, which is causing owners and lenders alike to need large sums of capital to facilitate transactions.
Moreover, as the summer starts to come to an end and everyone starts to eye September and the beginning of the end of the year, reliance on credit worthy and reputable capital sources who can close on a timely basis will significantly increase.
At Carlton, we have spent the last 25 years building our relationships all over the world with dependable debt and equity capital sources that are eager to invest in today’s volatile environment. We specialize in having excellent relationships with balance sheet lenders who can provide large amounts of senior debt at very competitive interest rates.
In addition, we have great equity sources both offshore and domestically, who can move very quickly to fund transactions through creative, preferred and common equity structures which can be beneficial to you. We have also had great success in closing transactions this year where we have proved in excess of 90% of the all-in capitalization to our clients.
In sum, the U.S economic and investment outlook is fundamentally sound, with growth expected, particularly in the major markets. We have closed several billion dollars in transactions this year alone with investors from Asia, Canada, the U.K and obviously investors from the U.S.A as well.
We are tireless advocates who will work 24/7 to bring home the best possible capital structure or asset sale for your next recapitalization, acquisition or disposition. People deal with people, not corporations and we have a highly sophisticated, aggressive client advocacy for large, complicated transactions which require a singular focus and dedicated team to create a way above average result for you.
We have also created a new Investment Management Division run by former EOP partner, Ms. Sybil Ellis which specifically focuses on providing advisory services to buyers and other non controlling investors who require either targeted acquisition advisory advice, valuation, dispute resolution or any other services which you may require.
If you are an investor or a borrower, we encourage you to contact us so we can help you achieve your real estate objectives.
