The platform will provide a source of flexible capital for transactions at a faster rate than traditional lenders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lightstone Capital will specialize in providing first-lien and mezzanine loans for bridge and construction financing projects secured by land and transitional real estate assets. The platform plans to close nearly $500 million in financing within the first year. Loans will range from $3 million to $100 million, targeting major markets such as New York, Los Angeles and Miami. Secondary markets with large projects will also be considered.&nbsp;Lightstone Capital underwrites opportunities with term sheets out within three to five business days, quicker than traditional lenders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Lightstone has hired Eugene Rozovsky as senior vice president of Real Estate Debt Strategies, to oversee and manage the platform. Before Lightstone, Rozovsky served as vice president of Acquisitions &amp; Asset Management at Madison Realty Capital. He was responsible for all debt and equity investments, closing more than $2 billion in transactions. Rozovsky also held positions at Hudson Realty Capital and Blackstone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Our decades of experience across every real estate sector allow us to see value and uncover opportunities where other lenders cannot,&#8221;<\/em> said&nbsp;<span class=\"xn-person\">David Lichtenstein<\/span>, chairman &amp; CEO of Lightstone, in a prepared statement. <em>&#8220;As a developer, we understand the borrower&#8217;s perspective and needs, and we recognize their desire for a reliable lender that can work quickly.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last month, Lightstone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/lightstone-secures-construction-loan-for-fl-moxy-hotel\/\">closed $73 million in financing<\/a> for&nbsp;Moxy South Beach, a seven-story hotel development in Miami Beach, Fla.<\/p>\n<p>flickr Creative Commons image courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapfullcoverageautoinsurance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">CheapFullCoverageAutoInsurance.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Borrowers will have access to first-lien and mezzanine loans for bridge and construction financing projects.
