Redpoint CRE Services

Sponsorship: Empowered

You know the deal works. Now prove it.

We work beside developers and sponsors to structure the debt and equity, build the case investors will approve, and see the project through closing. For lenders and investors, we provide an independent read before you commit.

Lender came in lower than planned? Equity gap to fill? Not sure which structure fits? There's no cost to learn more.

05 — How we work

How we work

  1. 1

    We start from what has to be true for the deal to work, and test that first.

  2. 2

    A model is built to stand up to a credit committee, not to win an argument.

  3. 3

    We tell a sponsor early when a deal doesn't work.

  4. 4

    Every structure is judged on the downside, not the base case.

  5. 5

    We sit on one side of a deal, never both.
