Private equity in commercial real estate is capital invested into property acquisitions, developments, repositioning projects, or operating real estate businesses in exchange for an ownership interest or preferred return structure. It may take the form of joint venture equity, preferred equity, or project-level growth capital. Stirling Capital Group helps qualified borrowers access equity sources alongside debt funding options.
