Description


About The TerraCotta Group

The TerraCotta Group (“TerraCotta”) is a private investment firm that specializes in commercial real estate (“CRE”) credit. The firm was founded in 2004 with the mission to fundamentally transform the CRE direct lending through the utilization of quantitative methods. TerraCotta combines a robust proprietary underwriting methodology, technology, deep real estate knowledge, and a lean, agile team to create a custom credit solution for borrowers. TerraCotta has delivered exceptional investment performance during a full market cycle through two funds and various separately managed accounts. TerraCotta is on a path towards significant growth in the coming years as it embarks on a growth strategy of launching multiple investment strategies across the entire CRE capital stack.

We pride ourselves on speed, certainty, and a solution-oriented culture with the ultimate goal of creating a seamless borrowing experience that is unique to our marketplace.  While pricing and proceeds are important, we understand that a great lending experience requires an extreme level of detail to every stage of the borrowing process, not just through the closing.

TerraCotta’s current investment vehicle, the TerraCotta Credit Fund (“TCCF”) has a $1 billion loan capacity to help sponsors execute projects.  We operate with the mindset that, “If the sponsor succeeds, there is no other outcome but success for the lender.”
