G4 Capital Partners

What G4 Capital Partners does

G4 Capital Partners is a New York-based private real estate investment firm that operates as a direct lender providing senior secured middle market loans to commercial real estate developers. Founded in 2005 by Louis Silverman, Robyn Sorid, and Jason Behfarin, the firm has completed more than $5.8 billion in cumulative originations across 295 loans, financing the full lifecycle of CRE transactions from acquisition and construction through repositioning and semi-stabilization. Its product set spans senior secured middle market loans, construction loans, bridge loans, land acquisition loans, condominium inventory loans, hotel recapitalization, multifamily first mortgages, student housing financing, and mixed-use development financing, with concentrations in student housing ($164M portfolio), land ($280M), and condo inventory ($116.5M).

The firm follows a cradle-to-grave origination and underwriting approach, differentiated by Principals who combine real estate development, operational, and legal backgrounds. Its technology footprint is limited — there is no proprietary loan origination platform, AI/ML tooling, or API surface disclosed; operations rely on the executive team's hands-on underwriting and asset management supplemented by a lean finance and IR function. Customer relationships are direct, sourced through the firm's established network of NYC metro developers (Jay Group, Rabsky Group, Chetrit Group, Fortis Property Group, JDS Development, Lightstone), with many repeat borrowers over multi-year horizons.

G4 generates revenue primarily through net interest income on originated senior secured loans plus transaction-level origination and servicing fees, with loan pricing negotiated deal-by-deal based on LTV, property type, borrower track record, and market conditions. Capital is sourced from family offices and institutional investors globally, and the firm is currently raising its sixth flagship fund vehicle, G4 Capital Partners VI, LP. The firm employs 1-10 people, is headquartered in New York (72 Madison Avenue, 8th Floor), and in March 2026 established a West Coast office in El Segundo, California, led by Senior Managing Director Larry Grantham.
