Restructuring

Park Bridge has extensive loan workout experience that spans several real estate cycles, includes all property types and covers all positions in the capital stack. Our real estate and structured finance expertise enables us accurately and efficiently to guide borrowers through the process. We maintain high-level relationships with many banks and virtually every CMBS master and special servicer. This access assures our clients prompt attention as well as real-time insight into current practices and requirements of loan modifications.

Our extensive knowledge of commercial banks, investments banks and insurance companies, as well as our securitization experience, provide us invaluable insight in to the motivations of financial institutions and CMBS trusts.
