Why we made it
The monologue is fifty years old. The headlines are this quarter’s. Refinancings that do not pencil, extension requests stacking up, office floors that never refilled, and banks that have stopped lending against anything with a question mark on it.
H Equities lends and owns through exactly that market. Bridge loans, mezzanine, preferred equity and soft deposit financing from the debt platform. Co-GP equity and direct investments from the equity platform. 80+ deals and $1B+ in transactions, closed in weeks rather than quarters, from Brooklyn.
Pass it on
If it made you laugh, send it to someone who is refinancing. If it made you wince, call Elliot.
Give us the basics: loan type, size, asset class, market. We'll come back with a real answer.
