Competition Soars in Bridge Lending Market

LOS ANGELES—Thorofare Capital hits $54 million in bridge lending only four months after launching its recent fund, but the success is driven by their professional relationships, not an increased appetite for short-term financing.

LOS ANGELES—Thorofare Capital has originated $54 million in bridge financing through its Thorofare Asset Based Lending Fund IV. The fund launched at the end of October 2015, and is already ahead of schedule. According to Felix Gutnikov, EVP of origination at Thorofare Capital, the fund is expected to hit $300 million, and with leverage, will have $450 million of buying power.

“We are definitely ahead of schedule. In the predecessor fund, we did half of this amount right out of the gate, so this is a very strong start,” Gutnikov tells GlobeSt.com. “We have some momentum because we were actively deploying capital in the third fund and the tail end of the Q4 2015 pipeline trickled into fund four. We think the pipeline will remain pretty full and we should be hitting our volume goal. We aren’t going to overdo it.”
