First Mortgage

Clearwater's Real Estate Debt Group specializes in arranging senior commercial real estate loans from banks, credit unions, and debt funds to provide our clients with the most competitive terms and most reliable executions in the capital markets.

Mezzanine Loans

Clearwater sources subordinated financing for clients who seek to increase overall leverage, maximize returns, reduce risk, and generate liquidity. Mezzanine loans are secured by a pledge of a partnership interest in the ownership equity.

Preferred Equity

Clearwater maintains relationships with a proprietary network of preferred equity partners who provide gap funding but typically require an “equity kicker” – an additional entitlement to profits in the event that the project performs well.
