Ladder Capital provides financing and investment services tied to commercial real estate. It originates first mortgage loans, including conduit loans against stable, income-producing properties and balance sheet loans for assets going through transition such as lease-up, sale, or renovation. It also extends capital through structured debt arrangements like note purchase financings, subordinated debt, and mezzanine loans, work that forms the core of what the company is known for.
Beyond lending, Ladder Capital is organized around two further areas. One invests in commercial mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Agency Securities, corporate bonds, and equity positions. The other holds and manages a mix of commercial and residential real estate, covering offices, student housing, hotels, industrial buildings, retail space, and condominiums, giving the company exposure across property types rather than a single asset class.
Ladder Capital was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in New York City. It operates as a real estate investment trust for federal tax purposes, which generally lets it avoid federal corporate income tax provided it distributes at least 90 percent of its taxable income to shareholders. Its shares trade under the ticker LADR.
