​INVESTING IN DEBT

Debt instruments can be originated and underwritten across the property capital structure and, depending on investor objectives, with profiles that cover the risk/return spectrum, from core and core-plus to value add and opportunistic.

Our Debt Investment Group uses basic market fundamentals and comprehensive debt analytics to critically evaluate each investment opportunity.  Building on such research metrics as job growth, demographics and projected rents, the Group leverages Clarion’s nationwide platform for access to deal flow, due diligence, credit analysis and careful underwriting to select investments.

The dedicated Debt Group is focused primarily on investments in mezzanine loans, B-notes and select preferred equity interests.
