OptionBridge™ Helps You Access Real Estate-Backed Capital Without Replacing Existing Financing
OptionBridge™ is a proprietary SLB Capital Group solution designed for qualified commercial property owners seeking liquidity while preserving property ownership and, where appropriate, existing senior financing.
OptionBridge™ provides an alternative source of real estate-backed capital when a traditional second mortgage or mezzanine loan may not be the right fit.
The property owner retains title and continues operating the property, subject to the agreed transaction terms.
When it Makes Sense
OptionBridge™ may be useful when:
Valuable commercial real estate already has attractive senior financing
Refinancing the first mortgage would be expensive or disruptive
Additional capital is needed
The owner wants to retain title
Traditional second-lien or mezzanine capital is unavailable or unattractive
Growth, acquisition, recapitalization or transition capital is needed
