About The Company
Lotus Capital Partners, LLC (“Lotus”) is a boutique real estate investment banking firm focused on commercial real estate finance. Lotus exists to execute on a single mission: to intermediate capital on behalf of its clients. We implement this mission through our two business lines: Debt Placement and Loan Sales and Distribution. Through the Debt Placement business, Lotus serves real estate owners and developers by raising capital for their commercial real estate transactions. Through the Loan Sales & Distribution business, Lotus serves lenders and investors looking to dispose of their positions in A-notes, mezzanine debt and whole loans. Together, our two business lines serve to provide owners of real estate assets or debt products with services and strategies that require capital markets access and expertise. Founded in 2016, Lotus is the fastest growing real estate capital advisory firm in the U.S. and is on track to arrange between $1.5 and $2.0 billion of financings in 2018. The leaders of Lotus are respected veterans of the commercial real estate community, having once held leadership positions at top financial institutions including Credit Suisse, Cantor Fitzgerald, Merrill Lynch and BlackRock. Senior management has had direct involvement in over $40 billion of commercial real estate financings. Years of placing and lending debt have helped Lotus grow its client base and capital relationships to include some of the deepest capital markets institutions in the world. Lotus’ closed capital engagements are spread across two continents and are among the highest profile financings in their respective regions, including a $400 million construction loan in Boca Raton, Florida that won the 2018 REFI Multifamily “Deal of the Year” award and a $237 million condo-inventory loan in London.
