Frequently asked questions
What property types and geographies does Atticus target?
Atticus lends against the five major commercial property types — office, multifamily, industrial, hospitality and mixed-use — across major US markets. Deal flow is national with a focus on Sun Belt growth corridors, Northeast gateway cities and select Midwest opportunities. The firm avoids niche property types with limited institutional exit demand, such as self-storage, student housing and single-tenant net-lease assets.
How is Atticus capital raised and structured?
Atticus raises capital through closed-end limited-partnership funds, not open-ended REITs or interval funds, creating structural alignment between fund life and the illiquidity of bridge loans. Each fund invests in a defined vintage of loans, and investors receive asset-level performance reporting. The LP base is concentrated among family offices, RIAs and small institutional allocators, rather than public pension funds or sovereign wealth funds.
How does Atticus differentiate from bank bridge lenders and larger debt funds?
Atticus competes on execution speed and flexibility rather than cost of capital. The firm's in-house underwriting team can issue a term sheet within 72 hours and close within 30 days, a pace that institutional bank lenders rarely match for middle-market loans. This attracts sponsors who prioritize certainty of close — often for off-market or time-sensitive acquisitions — and are willing to pay a modest spread premium for it.
What is Atticus's credit box and what does it explicitly avoid?
Atticus focuses on transitional assets with existing cash flow and a clear path to stabilization over 12 to 36 months. The maximum loan-to-value ratio is 75 percent, and the firm requires sponsorship with demonstrated experience in the relevant property type and market. Atticus explicitly avoids raw land, pre-revenue ground-up construction, and deeply distressed loans with uncertain workout paths.
