Celebrating Over 22 Years of Success

Since our founding in 1991 by Chairman and CEO Neil D. Freeman, and through ever changing economic climates, we have arranged or directly funded over $4 billion to our commercial real estate owner and developer clients nationwide.

Unlike many of our competitors, we successfully continued this tradition in recent years by closing multiple deals for all property types.  Recent transactions include the $82 million financing of two Florida hotels, the $57 million refinance of three Gulf Coast hotels in just 32 days, a $45.3 million refinance of a class B Chicago office building with a hotel as its major tenant, the $26.5 CMBS loan for Chicago’s mixed-use Green Exchange, an $8.4 million non-recourse bridge loan for an Oklahoma skilled nursing facility, and a $2.3 million non-recourse, fixed-rate loan on a 40-unit multifamily property in a tertiary market.

Our services go beyond structured financing.  Through Aries Capital affiliates Freeman Realty Advisors, Aries Real Estate Fund, LLC (AREF), Aries Management Services, and Urban Development Fund (UDF), clients also leverage our extensive experience in real estate investment, leasing, brokerage, development, property management, and government tax credits.  We’ve also earned the reputation as an expert in the hotel and hospitality industry.

Leverage Our Full Suite of Custom Solutions:

Our first-hand experience as a real estate investor and as a direct lender, combined with our extensive network of capital sources and renowned tax credit expertise, enables us to adapt to each client’s unique situation. We work with you to build a complete capital structure that maximizes the value of your real estate investment.

We finance complex transactions with loan sizes from $10 million to over $100 million typically, but we will arrange smaller amounts on a case-by-case basis.  We also leverage our direct correspondent relationships with a number of small balance lenders nationwide to offer multifamily owners and developers competitive rates and fees for amounts as low as $750,000.
