The team originates, structures, executes and manages performing and special situations investments across a wide range of asset classes and capital structures. Transactions include bridge financings, development loans, structured mortgages and other secured lending solutions across various leverage profiles.
Leveraging Arrow’s local platforms and origination network, the team accesses differentiated investment opportunities and delivers compelling risk-adjusted returns, while providing borrowers with flexible, tailored financing solutions.
