Debt + equity options across the full project lifecycle—from soft costs → construction → bridge/stabilization → permanent takeout. We structure the stack, package the story, and place capital through a national network.
Headquarters: Las Vegas, NV • Nationwide placement network • We broker capital (not a direct lender).
We can structure debt + equity across every phase—without rebuilding the story at each milestone. One clean package → faster underwriting → fewer surprises.
Our #1 customer is the developer/operator who needs a capital partner that can structure the stack, package the file, and place capital efficiently—without wasting cycles on mismatched sources. These are common executions we support (and we do more).
Ground‑up and value‑add executions—structured across phases so you can keep momentum.
New build, reposition, or refinance—structured for brand, market, and ramp‑up risk.
Mission‑driven and mixed‑use projects—structured with leverage, timelines, and partner fit in mind.
Specialized stacks built around operations, timelines, and underwriting realities.
Structured capital for technical projects—aligned to diligence and partner appetite.
Refi or recap a portfolio—rate/term, cash‑out, or repositioning capital.
Get a quick fit check, then we’ll tell you exactly what we need to move quickly.
We build the deal package so it’s underwriteable: clean story, clean numbers, clean documents. Then we match the capital partner(s) to your phase, collateral, market, and risk profile. Below are general frameworks (not quotes).
These ranges are provided for context and expectation-setting only. Final terms depend on asset type, market, sponsor strength, project readiness, diligence, and capital partner approval.
Non‑recourse on stabilized/permanent executions is often possible. Construction is commonly recourse or partially recourse. Standard carve‑outs typically apply (fraud, misrepresentation, misuse of funds, environmental, unauthorized transfers, etc.).
If leverage alone doesn’t solve the structure, we can help explore capital stack combinations such as: first + second (where supportable), senior + C‑PACE (where applicable), senior + preferred equity, or senior + mezz + equity.
Equity timelines vary widely—fast on clean, compelling packages; longer on complex raises. These are general investor-target ranges, not guarantees.
When the stack requires equity (or preferred equity), Stratas can help structure and place it—so you close without burning leverage or time. We focus on aligning investor expectations to the deal reality before you go to market.
Most sponsors don’t need “a lender.” They need a stack that fits the asset, the phase, the leverage, and the exit. Below is a quick map of common program lanes we can structure and place (deal‑dependent).
Early‑phase capital to keep momentum before the full stack is live.
Ground‑up or heavy rehab structures with draws and realistic covenants.
Transitional capital when NOI and occupancy are still ramping.
Lock in long‑term terms once the asset is stabilized.
Refi or recap multiple assets with a consistent story and structure.
Fill gaps and increase leverage without breaking the senior terms.
Investor capital when the stack needs equity to close.
When the execution needs an extra tool in the toolkit.
Apply once. We’ll structure the right stack and route it to the right capital partners.
Speed comes from preparation. When entitlements, budgets, and documentation are complete, we can move extremely fast by matching you directly with the right partners and keeping the package clean. Larger deals can still move quickly—timelines depend on diligence and structure.
Fast closes aren’t magic—they’re documentation. If any of these items are missing, timelines expand.
Timing note: a ~2‑week close assumes a complete file, fast responsiveness, and no diligence issues. Fast‑track is typically reserved for shovel‑ready projects up to $100M.
To move quickly, upload what you have—then tell us your folder is complete.
Missing items don’t always kill a deal—but they almost always slow it down.
We reduce rework: we build a clean Executive Summary, you approve it, and then we present to the right partners—no “spray and pray.”
We prioritize complete, responsive, ready‑to‑close files.
Names shown below are anonymized. Deal sizes reflect common ranges we see: CRE $20M–$150M+, acquisitions $1M–$50M, and working capital $250K–$50M.
