Investing in complex, granular assets and opportunities with strong collateral coverage
In the United States and Europe, Castlelake has significant experience structuring and executing land and real estate-centric transactions including acquisition, development & construction (AD&C), land banking, secured debt financing and direct investing. We specialize in off-the-run opportunities where we can unlock high-quality assets from complex situations or act as a preferred capital provider where dislocation is present. Castlelake invests with a preference for interim cash flow and contractual exits.
The firm’s extensive experience acquiring and exiting assets – more than 30,000 in the U.S. and 7,000 in Europe – offers a distinct competitive advantage. Our team has niche expertise underwriting a variety of assets and applies rich jurisdictional knowledge to its investment approach. With more than 150 lender relationships and approximately 75 local operating partner relationships, Castlelake is well positioned to source, invest in and manage effectively across geographies.
