Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Standard Planning Company?
John Boruk has served as President since the 1990s and is the firm's sole investment decision-maker. He personally approves every loan the firm originates. The firm has no investment committee and no external credit authority.
Does Standard Planning Company raise outside capital or manage commingled funds?
No. Standard Planning Company operates as a proprietary balance-sheet lender. It has never raised a commingled fund, never taken institutional limited partner capital, and does not syndicate loans. All lending is done from the firm's own capital base.
How does Standard Planning Company source its deal flow?
Deal flow is relationship-driven and emerges from repeat borrowers, mortgage brokers, and professional-services referrals within New York's commercial real estate ecosystem. The firm does not advertise, run an online origination platform, or accept unsolicited loan applications through a public portal.
What sets Standard Planning Company apart from institutional private credit funds?
Because it does not manage third-party capital, the firm faces no deployment pressure during overheated markets — a structural protection against pro-cyclical lending. It can pause originations entirely when risk-adjusted returns on New York commercial real estate debt fail to meet internal thresholds, a posture that institutional funds with capital-call deadlines cannot replicate.
