Our Story
Friends for over 20 years, our three founders began partnering on structured credit transactions when the real estate market began to shift in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. As inflation increased and uncertainty grew, many lenders pulled back, leaving sponsors struggling to secure dependable, flexible capital.
Recognizing this gap, the three saw an opportunity to continue to provide the market with the creative, efficient capital solutions it needed. That’s why they founded Lorimer Capital, delivering certainty, speed, and strategic, structured credit solutions that help sponsors and investors succeed in any environment.
