Ladder Capital Corp (NYSE: LADR) is a leading diversified commercial real estate finance platform with $5.4 billion of assets. Our investment objective is to preserve and protect shareholder capital while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns.
As one of the nation’s preeminent commercial real estate capital providers, we specialize in underwriting commercial real estate across the capital stack. We provide flexible, customized capital solutions through investments in both debt and equity. Since our inception in 2008, we have invested over $46 billion, serving institutional and middle-market clients.
Our primary business is originating fixed and floating rate first mortgage loans secured by all commercial real estate property types, with particular emphasis on the middle market. We pride ourselves on being a flexible and dependable capital partner, fostering long-term relationships, repeat business, and strong brand recognition. We also own and operate commercial real estate, including net leased commercial properties, and we invest in investment grade securities secured by first mortgage loans on commercial real estate.
When Ladder was founded in 2008, our vision was clear: to create a leading, diversified commercial real estate finance platform supported by a conservative and durable capital structure. We employ a differentiated financing strategy, driven by our goal of becoming an investment grade-rated company. Our industry-leading credit ratings reflect our conservative leverage strategy, with most of our debt comprised of long-term unsecured corporate bonds. We are currently rated just one notch below investment grade from Moody’s (Ba1) and Fitch (BB+), with a positive outlook from both agencies.
Ladder’s corporate structure and high insider ownership strongly align our management team’s interests with those of our stakeholders. We are an internally-managed commercial real estate investment trust led by a highly-experienced and long-tenured team. The members of our management team and board of directors own more than 11% of the Company’s equity, collectively making them Ladder’s largest shareholder.
Ladder is headquartered in New York City with a regional office in Miami, Florida. All data presented above is as of September 30, 2024.
