Flexibility
We customize each transaction to meet the individual requirements of the client.
Speed
Speed and efficiency are important factors in the decision-making process. With more than $5 billion in equity capital and an in-house underwriting process, we can close transactions and provide financing world-wide in as little as 15 days.
Long-Term Holder
We strive to develop and sustain long-term relationships with our tenants. Many of our tenant companies have completed follow-on transactions with us – some as many as six or seven – and we continue to own the majority of the assets we’ve acquired over the years.
