Real Estate Lending
Paragon’s real estate lending platform originates whole loans, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity investments. Our typical deals range in size from $5-$50 million and our flexible capital base provides for a duration-agnostic approach to underwriting, with loan terms ranging from 12 months to 10 years, on either a fixed or floating-rate basis. Our loans can be collateralized either by land, transitional or stabilized properties, and development projects.
