DENVER—JCR Capital, a real estate finance company specializing in middle market properties, says it has closed more than over $127 million of loans through its new bridge loan program.
“We are very pleased with the progress of this new debt platform,” said JCR's CEO Jay Rollins. “It is an excellent complement to our equity platform, and JCR is now one of the few, if not the only, one-stop shop for commercial real estate finance that is exclusively dedicated to the middle market.”
JCR's new bridge loan program was created in 2014 to take advantage of the void in serving the middle market, the firm says. The platform is under the direction of Rob Brown, formerly with Deutsche Bank in New York. The middle market, transactions in the $5 to $20 million range, makes up the majority of assets by number in the US.
“These deals are too small for the big institutional guys and too big for the country club money; which leaves an open playing field for knowledgeable players,” Rollins says. “JCR has stepped in to fill this vacuum as the middle market finance leader, nationwide. Historically, the middle market has provided better: deal flow, pricing and structures for capital providers.”
JCR Capital, founded in 2006, is a real estate finance company providing capital solutions to middle market sponsors. JCR provides bridge loans, preferred equity, mezzanine loans, and equity financing for value added, distressed, and opportunistic transactions.
JCR is managed by Rollins and Maren Steinberg. Since 1992, throughout a variety of real estate cycles, this team has successfully invested approximately $2.0 billion in over 300 middle market commercial real estate transactions across three platforms.
