Prime Finance Partners was founded in 2008 as part of Prime Finance, a privately held commercial real estate credit investment platform headquartered in San Francisco. The firm specializes in originating and investing in real estate debt across the U.S., with a focus on floating-rate, non-recourse bridge loans, CMBS B-piece acquisitions, and special situations financing. Since inception, Prime Finance has originated over $27.6 billion in loans and invested in more than $70 billion of debt across 7,100+ assets nationwide. Current assets under management exceed $14.3 billion, supported by origination teams in San Francisco, New York, and Chicago.
The company’s investment strategy emphasizes credit-oriented real estate opportunities, targeting mid-market transactions and distressed or transitional assets. Prime Finance Partners I and subsequent funds have historically focused on multifamily and diversified commercial properties, while newer strategies include short-duration debt and CMBS investments. Asset classes span multifamily, office, hospitality, industrial, and self-storage, with multifamily representing the largest share of recent transactions.Geographically, Prime Finance maintains national coverage, with notable concentrations in major urban markets such as San Francisco, New York, and Chicago, alongside strong exposure in growth metros like Austin, Phoenix, and Charlotte.
Tenant exposure is indirect, as Prime Finance primarily operates as a lender and investor rather than a property owner. However, its credit underwriting and CMBS positions link performance to tenant stability across retail, office, and multifamily portfolios. Key clients include institutional borrowers and sponsors, with repeat relationships accounting for nearly half of investments.
