About PILOT Real Estate Group - Acquisitions, Finance, Management
PILOT Real Estate Group specializes in providing short term bridge loans to satisfy a range of capital needs related to acquisitions, construction, refinancings, note purchases, discounted payoffs, partnership buyouts, working capital and capital expenditures. PILOT invests discretionary balance sheet capital and can therefore creatively structure a financing product to dovetail with the unique challenges of each transaction as well as work within the tight timeframes of special situations. As experienced and independent lenders, PILOT understands value creation and can participate in transactions whose characteristics may preclude traditional and other alternative capital sources. PILOT's flexibility has enabled it to close loans in various markets across the country secured by a spectrum of assets from land to student housing properties. PILOT understands the nuances of the bridge lending business, invests with integrity and seeks to establish long-standing relationships with borrowers.
