Strobel Capital Partners

Strobel Capital Partners

Strobel Capital Partners opened on a specific gap: commercial real estate sponsors and mid-market business owners needed an intermediary with institutional-grade lender relationships, not a broker flipping a Rolodex. Stephen Meyer built the firm after a career in commercial banking and finance, structuring everything from agency multifamily debt to single-tenant bridge loans. The shop is headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, and operates nationally across all major asset classes. SCP functions primarily as a debt placement and advisory platform, not a direct lender. Its core practice arranges senior bridge and permanent debt — deal sizes range from $5 million to over $50 million — with access to agency execution via Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, and USDA programs alongside CMBS and private-debt executions. Representative financed deals include a $14 million bridge loan closed at 75% loan-to-cost in under 30 days and a $30 million five-year fixed-rate loan with interest-only terms and a $10 million cash-out component. The firm also structures working-capital facilities, equipment financing, and accounts-receivable factoring for operating businesses through the same network of 100-plus lending partners. Total debt arranged exceeds $500 million. The firm maintains a lean footprint — Meyer is the only named principal — and draws on a network spanning private debt funds, commercial banks, life companies, family offices, and agency lenders. No adjacent vehicles or philanthropic entities are publicly disclosed. SCP has not announced a recent fund close or vehicle launch; its publicly surfaced activity centers on transactional execution and sponsor relationships. Strobel's structural differentiator is its pure intermediary model — no proprietary balance sheet, no fund-level blind-pool capital, and no principal investing. That posture removes the conflict a direct lender faces when a deal needs capital the lender's own book won't support. By maintaining capacity-agnostic lender relationships across the capital stack, SCP can route a $5 million strip-center bridge loan and a $45 million agency multifamily permanent deal through the same decision-making process, with the same urgency.
