Trez Capital

Trez Capital is a private real estate lender and investment manager that originates commercial mortgage debt and equity across North America. It lends to developers, investors, and owners on a range of commercial property types, and organises its U.S. origination around three regions: the Western U.S., the Central and Southwestern U.S., and the Southeastern U.S.

The firm runs two connected businesses. On the borrower side it provides short- to mid-term financing, including construction loans and bridge financing, and describes its offer as certainty of capital, quick approvals, and flexibility rather than the lowest rate. On the investor side it offers mortgage investment funds, syndications, and joint ventures, including the Trez Capital Prime Trust, the Trez Capital Yield Trust, and institutional series private offerings.

Trez Capital was founded in 1997 and reports over $4.7 billion in assets under management, with more than 1,800 transactions totalling in excess of $23 billion funded since inception. It lists offices in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Addison (Texas), Miami, New York, and Scottsdale, and its site carries Administrator License #12223 and Broker License #12222.

Posted financings range from a $22,000,000 CAD construction loan on an Alberta industrial building down to smaller U.S. deals, and the site publishes no minimum or maximum loan size, so both are worth confirming against a live term sheet. The firm's own material describes it as one of the largest non-bank commercial mortgage lenders in Canada; U.S. borrowers should ask which regional origination team covers their market.

Best for

Developers and owners who need construction, bridge, or preferred equity capital on a commercial project in one of the firm's three U.S. regions or in Canada, and investors looking for mortgage funds. Minimum loan sizes are not published.
