Senior Debt Placement
Permanent financing, term debt, and floating-rate structures across all CRE asset classes.
Senior secured debt is the foundational layer of every commercial real estate capital stack. Light Tower Group sources and places senior debt from banks, debt funds, CMBS lenders, life insurance companies, and agency programs. The market has more capital types than ever — and more complexity in matching the right lender to the right deal at the right moment in the cycle.
Where LTG adds value: knowing which banks are open on multifamily recapitalizations, which debt funds are pricing bridge-to-perm at sub-SOFR-plus-300, and which CMBS conduits are moving fast on stabilized assets in New York. That real-time market intelligence compresses time-to-term-sheet from weeks to days. It also means sponsors avoid the dead ends that consume deals without an advisor with current market contact.
How LTG Approaches Senior Debt
Every mandate begins with a capital strategy memo — which capital types make sense for the deal, what leverage targets are achievable in the current market, and which 20 to 30 specific lenders to approach first from LTG's 250,000+ source network. Institutional-quality offering materials are prepared before a single lender is contacted, so the deal arrives pre-packaged for efficient underwriting and decision-making.
LTG remains engaged through funding — not just term sheet. Lenders who retrade at commitment or create friction at closing are flagged and avoided. The goal is a capital partner who performs on the terms agreed, the first time, every time.
