Our Credit Priorities
Provide Resources for Communities
We implement projects and provide resources that support the ongoing growth of communities by partnering with creditworthy borrowers.
Partner With Strong Borrowers
We focus on custom financing solutions for high-quality real estate assets in major markets, primarily in urban infill locations.
Mitigate Risk Through Discipline
We seek to provide strong performance with lower risk through disciplined underwriting and in-house expertise, rather than relying on financial engineering.
We emphasize loan types we believe are underserved by traditional lenders, backed by high-quality real estate.
CIM Real Estate Debt Solutions
We seek to provide custom financing opportunities for diverse asset types across the capital stack.
