strategy
Sound Mark focuses on making directly originated subordinate loans (mezzanine and preferred equity)
to local owner operators in high-growth primary and secondary US locations. We target the lower middle market of commercial real estate
transactions (deal sizes less than $50M) which represents 90% of the market and remains highly fragmented and inefficient1.
Sound Mark has created a strong brand in the market, whereby property owners, brokers and senior lenders
understand the void we are able to fill in the capital stack. We pursue small ($5M - $40M), off-the-run transactions and focus on the subordinate
portion of the capital structure (50-85% loan-to-value). Our team works with borrowers to develop a capital solution that works for their needs, and
conducts asset management in-house so that borrowers are always working directly with our team.
