What Gryphon Real Estate Capital Partners does

Gryphon Real Estate Capital Partners, LLC is a New York-based, privately held private lender founded in 2016 by industry veterans Angelo LoBosco and Jim Hopkins. The firm provides customized debt financing solutions to middle-market real estate operators and developers across the continental United States, with a focus on transitional and construction strategies that fall outside the risk appetite of regulated bank lenders. Three core programs comprise the product surface: (i) a Transitional Multifamily Loan Program offering first-mortgage loans of $20 million to $75 million with up to 85% LTC for value-add and lease-up assets; (ii) an Agency Correspondent Lender Program delivering Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA (HUD) product for multifamily, student housing, and senior living with a $10 million minimum; and (iii) an Opportunistic Loan Program providing senior and subordinate positions across value-add, bridge, stretch senior, preferred equity, and construction in multifamily, office, and industrial at a $15 million minimum.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on balance-sheet lending capacity combined with the founders' collective $8 billion of prior real estate transaction experience and their operating, restructuring, and development backgrounds. In July 2021, Gryphon formed the Gryphon-CarVal Multifamily Loan Program joint venture with CarVal Investors (a global alternative investment manager with approximately $14 billion AUM), which targets $1.0 billion or more of deployment over two years and is the firm's primary growth engine. The platform retains asset management and loan servicing internally throughout the loan term, with terms typically structured as up to 3 years plus extensions, for a 5-year maximum, at competitive floating rates with risk-adjusted pricing (lower-risk transitional strategies priced at Libor+350bps).

Revenue is generated from three sources: interest income on balance-sheet bridge loans held on book, transaction fees from agency correspondent lending, and recurring asset management and loan servicing fees. The firm operates with a small executive team (4-5 senior principals including two Managing Directors covering Originations and Asset Management), distributes via direct origination supported by industry relationships and broker referrals, and uses limited digital marketing (a Wix-hosted website, LinkedIn presence, and PRNewswire-issued press releases) rather than performance or content marketing. Customer-facing evidence indicates moderate repeat-borrower concentration, with named clients such as Strategic Realty Holdings and Electra Capital executing multiple transactions through the platform.

Revenue model

1. Interest Income from Bridge Loans: Primary revenue stream from originating and holding transitional multifamily bridge loans on balance sheet. Loans range from $20M to $75M with competitive floating rates. Returns vary by risk profile - lower-risk 'light' transitional strategies yield Libor plus 350bps, while ground-up construction loans generate higher returns.
2. Correspondent Lender Fees: Revenue from acting as correspondent lender for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA through a licensed Agency Lender. Minimum loan size of $10M for agency programs serving multifamily, student housing, and senior living.
3. Asset Management and Loan Servicing Fees: Asset management and loan servicing retained throughout loan term, generating ongoing fee income from the portfolio. Gryphon leverages extensive real estate experience to generate asset management solutions from a practical perspective.
