Palos Verdes Capital Partners, Nationwide

Strategic Commercial Financing

Direct Lending for Developers, Investors, and Operators Across the United States

Commercial real estate financing can be slow, inflexible, and frustrating when you are working with the wrong lender. Traditional banks are often not equipped to handle the complexity that comes with real commercial deals. PV Capital Group's lending platform was built to fill that gap. We have established a specialized group known as Palos Verdes Capital Partners.

We are commercial lending brokers and consultants. We have a broad network of banks, credit unions, life insurance companies, state pensions, and private lenders. We will work aggressively to match your needs with active lenders to achieve the timing and terms that best fit your project or refinance.

Because we are also developers and real estate investors ourselves, we understand what a good commercial project looks like from the inside. We have closed over $300,000,000 in financing since our origins in 2018.

    Loan Types

    Bridge Loans

    Short-term bridge financing for commercial acquisitions, time-sensitive opportunities, and transitional properties. We can close quickly when a traditional lender cannot, and we structure loans to fit the project rather than the other way around.

    Construction and Development Loans

    We provide financing for commercial development projects including ground-up construction and significant renovations. We understand the development process because we have run projects ourselves. We structure construction loans that work for developers and monitor draw schedules closely.

    Commercial Term Loans

    Longer-term financing for stabilized commercial assets across a range of property types, including retail, office, industrial, and specialty properties. We evaluate each loan individually and offer terms that reflect the actual quality of the asset and the sponsor.

    Senior Housing and Assisted Living Financing

    Senior housing and assisted living is an area of focus for our lending platform. We have funded multiple projects in this asset class and understand what makes these deals work. If you are developing or acquiring a senior housing facility and need a lender who knows the space, we are worth a call.

    Specialized Expertise

    Our Lending Footprint

    PV Capital Group lends on commercial real estate projects throughout the United States. Our real estate development work is centered in the Mountain West, but our capital has no geographic restriction. We evaluate lending opportunities based on the quality of the asset, the strength of the sponsor, and the market fundamentals, not the zip code.

    Our lending history covers a range of commercial asset types, with a particular concentration in assisted living and senior housing. We update this section approximately once per year. For current lending case studies and references, reach out directly.
