Key Capital Services at Thorne CRE
We provide a full-spectrum capital arrangement service tailored to align borrower objectives with institutional lender expectations:
1. Senior Debt Placement
We arrange fixed and floating-rate senior loans through our deep network of commercial banks, life insurance companies, CMBS conduits, and agency lenders (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac).

2. Equity & JV Structuring
For capital-intensive projects, we connect sponsors with limited partner (LP) and joint-venture (JV) equity providers. We structure waterfall distributions, preferred returns, and co-investment models that preserve sponsor alignment while ensuring equity partners achieve targeted risk-adjusted yields.
3. Construction & Development Financing
From ground-up construction to major repositioning, we navigate complex construction debt covenants, draw schedules, and completion guarantees. For value-add properties needing immediate execution, explore our specialized fast commercial bridge loans for value-add assets.
4. Strategic Capital Stack Advisory
Structuring the optimal balance between senior debt, mezzanine capital, and equity is critical to maximizing return on equity (ROE). Review our detailed guide on navigating the capital stack to evaluate how different tranche structures impact project leverage.
