C2R Capital
C2R Capital: National Private Real Estate Lending
C2R Capital Management is a premier, Houston-based private real estate credit platform that serves as a direct lender for commercial real estate owners and developers across the United States. Founded by a team of industry veterans with over 50 years of combined experience, C2R specializes in filling the “funding gap” left by traditional banking institutions.
Core Focus & Investment Strategy
C2R Capital is primarily an asset-backed lender that provides flexible, short-term capital solutions. They specialize in:
-
First-Lien Bridge Loans: Providing fast liquidity for acquisitions, refinances, and transitional assets.
-
Development & Construction: Funding horizontal infrastructure and “pad-ready” sites for commercial and multifamily projects.
-
Note Purchases: Acquiring performing and non-performing notes to provide structural certainty for sponsors.
-
Mezzanine Financing: Offering creative junior-lien solutions for opportunistic real estate deals.
The “C2R Advantage”
The firm is defined by its entrepreneurial agility and speed. Unlike traditional banks, C2R employs a streamlined underwriting process that allows for:
-
72-Hour Initial Deal Review: Rapid feedback for time-sensitive opportunities.
-
3-Week Expedited Closing: Moving at the “pace of opportunity” to ensure sponsors don’t miss out on acquisitions.
-
Sector Expertise: Deep experience across land, industrial, retail, multifamily, and specialty-use properties, particularly in the high-growth Sunbelt region.
Recent Milestones
As of late 2025, C2R Capital has significantly expanded its footprint, recently closing an inaugural $100 million debt fund dedicated to CRE bridge financing. To date, the principals have deployed over $250 million in capital across 12+ states, leveraging a vast network of proprietary deal flow to deliver secured, high-yield returns for their partners.
