Frequently Asked Questions
What to know before requesting a review.
What types of capital does Light Tower Group arrange?
Senior, bridge, construction, permanent, and structured debt; joint venture and preferred equity; mezzanine and co-GP capital; and recapitalizations.
What size assignments does Light Tower Group consider?
We typically evaluate assignments with capital needs of $5 million and above. Fit also depends on the sponsor, property, structure, market, and timing.
Which property types and markets do you cover?
We evaluate assignments across U.S. markets and major commercial real estate property types, including multifamily, mixed-use, office, industrial, retail, hospitality, self storage, student housing, medical, data center, and development.
When should a sponsor contact Light Tower Group?
While the transaction is still being evaluated—not after the capital structure is fixed. Earlier involvement creates more room to compare proceeds, pricing, recourse, control, and timing.
How confidential is the initial review?
Initial deal information is reviewed confidentially. We can work under an NDA when appropriate and do not begin capital-provider outreach without an agreed process.
Do you charge a retainer or upfront fee?
For qualifying assignments, engagement is success-based with no retainer or upfront fee. Terms are confirmed after an initial confidential review.
