How We Are Different

Solaris Capital can craft solutions for developers, investors and owners/operators seeking “gap capital” to complete acquisition, refinancing, repositioning and sale across multiple property types. Most importantly, however, Solaris Capital’s solutions are different in that:

Committed capital
- We are the sole capital provider; we do not raise the capital or ask a committee.
Proprietary perspective, internal underwriting, flexible structuring
- We execute what is attractive; we do not follow institutional guidelines.
Certainty and speed of closing
- We do not have a formal investment committee; rather, the professionals required to diligence and document the investments work closely throughout the process. The structure allows us to proceed with certainty and speed; and in cases where it is possible, parallel track the work streams (instead of the more traditional linear processing of them).
Loan sizes from $5 million and up
- We can start small and stay small, but we can scale as required over time.
