Greystone Closes $750M Debt Fund

The eight-year fund invests in debt financing across a range of real estate properties and anticipates an investment capacity of more than $2.5 billion for loan products such as bridge and mezzanine financing.

Greystone has closed with investors on the $750 million Greystone Senior Debt Opportunity Fund, which is managed by the firm’s affiliate investment adviser and includes several institutional and large public pension fund investors. 

“We are seeing incredible demand for flexible financing options for acquisitions of both stabilized and transitional properties, and this increased capacity enables us to help round out the increasingly complex capital stack for property investors,” said Mark Jarrell, head of the Portfolio Lending Group at Greystone.
