BridgeInvest LLC
David M. Sobelman founded BridgeInvest as a private credit platform focused on commercial real estate bridge lending. The firm provides short- to medium-term financing for value-add, transitional, and construction projects, typically in urban markets across the United States. The firm originates loans secured by commercial real estate assets—including multifamily, office, industrial, retail, and hospitality properties. BridgeInvest also extends capital for infrastructure and energy transition projects. The firm sources deals through direct origination and a network of broker and sponsor relationships, targeting loans between $5 million and $50 million per transaction. Co-investments and syndications are offered to select institutional partners. BridgeInvest has publicly stated it has originated over $1 billion in total loan volume (per the firm's official communications). The firm operates from one office in Miami, Florida. David Sobelman serves as CEO, and Jonathan B. Blumberg acts as Managing Director and General Counsel; no additional professional headcount or team size is disclosed. The firm has not disclosed any philanthropic vehicles or adjacent operating companies. BridgeInvest's structural differentiator is its focus on non-bank transitional real estate credit—a niche where regulation and capital constraints have pushed traditional lenders aside. The firm positions itself as a speed-to-capital and flexibility provider, originating loans that require quicker underwriting and closing timelines than traditional commercial banks can accommodate.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at BridgeInvest?
David M. Sobelman, founder and CEO, oversees all investment and origination decisions. Jonathan B. Blumberg, Managing Director and General Counsel, provides legal structuring and transaction execution. Both are based in Miami. No separate investment committee or CIO has been publicly identified.
How does BridgeInvest source proprietary deal flow?
BridgeInvest originates loans directly through its team's network of sponsors, brokers, and real estate operators. The firm also receives referrals from institutional capital partners and servicers. Many loans are sourced off-market in competitive transitional situations where speed of execution is paramount.
Is BridgeInvest structured as a family office or does it operate more like a private credit fund?
BridgeInvest operates as a private credit manager, not a family office. The firm raises capital from institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals, originating loans on a balance-sheet basis before syndicating or warehousing them. It is not funded by a single family fortune.
Does BridgeInvest participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
BridgeInvest originates loans directly, then holds them on its balance sheet or syndicates them to institutional partners. It does not operate a blind-pool commingled fund structure. The firm offers co-investment opportunities in individual loan transactions to select clients on a deal-by-deal basis.
What investment stages does BridgeInvest typically target?
BridgeInvest focuses on bridge and transitional commercial real estate loans, including value-add repositioning, light construction, and stabilization financing. Loan sizes typically range from $5 million to $50 million per transaction. Properties include multifamily, office, industrial, retail, and hospitality assets across US urban markets.
Which sectors does BridgeInvest explicitly avoid?
BridgeInvest does not publicly disclose a formal list of excluded sectors. The firm primarily avoids raw land, early-stage development, and single-family residential. Its focus is income-producing commercial real estate with clear exit plans.
What is BridgeInvest's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
BridgeInvest offers co-investment opportunities to institutional partners on a loan-by-loan basis. These are typically offered to investors with whom the firm has an existing relationship. The firm does not publicize specific co-investment terms or minimums.
