Maxim Capital Group

What Maxim Capital Group does

Maxim Capital Group is a direct commercial real estate bridge lender founded in 2010 by Adam Glick and Brian Steiner, operating from a New York headquarters at 600 Madison Avenue with a secondary office in Roslyn, Long Island. The firm originates short-term, event-driven financing for real estate developers, sponsors, and property owners across all major commercial real estate asset types, including multifamily, mixed-use, condo, office, retail, hospitality, industrial, and development sites. Its lending activity is conducted through Maxim Capital Funding, LLC, a wholly-owned loan origination and servicing subsidiary, and is funded by 14 discretionary investment vehicles backed by insurance companies, pension funds, endowments, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

The company offers two primary loan programs: a Value-Add Loan Program ($10-125M, starting at 8% interest-only, up to 65% LTV, terms up to 36 months) and a Bridge Lending Program ($2-125M, starting at 7% interest-only, terms up to 36 months). Pricing is bespoke and undisclosed publicly. Maxim generates revenue through origination fees on each transaction, interest income, and asset management fees on the 14 vehicles. The firm emphasizes speed (2-4 week closings), certainty of execution, and non-recourse structuring, and reports no principal losses over its operating history. Roughly 70% of deployed capital goes to repeat clients, underscoring a relationship-driven direct origination model supplemented by broker channels (Meridian Capital Group, JLL) and co-lending partnerships (Beach Point Capital, BH3 Management, Sabal Investment Holdings).

The firm is privately held, employs 11-50 people, and has cumulative originations of $10.2B across 750+ transactions spanning 16+ years. It does not operate a proprietary technology platform; operations rely on human underwriting, in-house servicing, and integrated asset management. Governance is provided by a Board including former Apollo Global Management President Marc Spilker and other senior Wall Street executives, signaling institutional credibility. The company sources deals nationwide but has visible concentration in New York City and South Florida condo development.
