ABOUT US
Who We Are
 
Bond Street Capital is different from the typical lending institution involved in the funding of commercial real estate. We are a full service real estate lender that is not limited to any one type of loan product, program or sector.

Bond Street is a direct lender and correspondent originating commercial real estate loans through a proprietary network of Corporate and Branch Offices. We generate loans on a national basis while still offering exceptional customer service and representation on a local level through our over 50 Corporate and Branch Offices.

We originate loans for over a dozen of our institutional and private capital partners as well as contribute to securitized loan pools through our Capital Markets Group. Through these institutional & private affiliations, we are able to provide multiple solutions for nearly every financing requirement of our borrowers.


  Getting to Bond Street
 
Started in 2002, Bond Street Capital was established by Barry Reiner and Joseph Forman. Mr. Reiner was the former Managing Director of Capital Markets for Commercial Real Estate Finance for First Union Securities, where under his direction the firm originated over $11BB of CMBS loan product. Reiner, an attorney by trade, worked for a decade as a Wall Street attorney specializing in real estate, real estate finance and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Mr. Forman began his career as a lawyer before he was lured onto real estate finance. He worked his way up the ranks from staff lender to division manager within 3 years. His turn came in 1987, when he assumed the title of president of CSL Realty Advisors, a Los Angeles-based subsidiary of a major financial institution that pioneered the concept of structured products for the commercial real estate industry.

A little more than a decade later, in 1998, Forman formed RainMaker Financial Affiliates (RFA), Los Angeles, an affiliate entity of the RainMaker Financial Companies. RainMaker Financial Affiliates was a marketing company representing over 30 institutional lenders that matched the loan requirements of a proprietary network of over 1,400 independent commercial mortgage professionals. In 2002, RainMaker and BSC merged their interests to form a unique, nationwide commercial lender.


  Why Bond Street? It's the Creative Advantage!
 
Many lenders only offer one or two loan programs with limited options. Borrowers often do not get the best financing solution or are constrained with terms that are inadequate because the lender is inflexible. Getting the "right" loan requires a lender with multiple program options and the willingness to be creative in its approach. With multiple alternatives available, Bond Street can customize each loan to meet the specific needs of the Borrower.

We often find that the needs of the borrower may change during the loan process and the initial loan program selected is no longer the best loan for a particular borrower's needs. Bond Street often seamlessly moves loans between programs without any additional costs to the Borrower or loss of time. An additional Bond Street advantage.


  The Bottom Line
 
Whether you are a borrower looking for that loan with the best terms or an investor looking for the best way to deploy capital, Bond Street Capital has the right solution!
