What Veleta Capital does

Veleta Capital is a private real estate finance and investment management firm headquartered in El Segundo, California, founded in 2020. It originates and services bridge loans targeting multifamily sponsors and real estate investors, with loan sizes of $10–75 million, 18–36 month senior-secured terms, fixed and floating interest-only structures, and up to 75% loan-to-cost on multifamily assets. Capital is also allocated to rescue and tactical situations such as recapitalizations, restructurings, and partnership equity buyouts, structured as non-recourse debt with standard "bad boy" carveouts. Veleta generates revenue primarily through net interest income on the loan book, a 1% upfront origination fee, and case-by-case exit fees.

The firm's operating model is built around a vertically integrated, in-house stack that combines underwriting, loan servicing, construction management, and asset management, supplemented by a curated partner ecosystem: TriPost serves as a strategic General Partner and advisor; Coastline Real Estate Advisors handles property management; Turnaround Solutions acts as general contractor; and Tasoro supplies building materials. Origination runs through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, with a website-based loan request intake and a referral network of operators, developers, property managers, and general contractors across ten U.S. states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington). Veleta is led by Managing Partners Brian Murphy (CEO) and Andrew Marcus (COO), with Managing Director Dayna Hillier overseeing operations and compliance.

Veleta operates under California Financing Lenders Law Licenses 60DBO-131032 and 60DBO-186716. As of the latest disclosed figures, the platform has executed $4 billion in real estate finance and acquisition volume, completed more than 700 closed loans, and deployed $3 billion of private and institutional capital.
