RXR-Hudson will leverage uniquely compatible real estate and credit skill sets to create national commercial real estate debt platform
RXR, a leading owner, operator, and developer of real estate, with a proven history in structured finance investment, and Hudson Reality Capital (Hudson), a fully integrated commercial real estate lender with broad experience in origination, due diligence, capital markets, and asset management, announced the formation of RXR-Hudson, a strategic lending platform designed to achieve risk-adjusted returns through direct commercial real estate lending across major markets throughout the United States.
“Our launch of RXR-Hudson marks another milestone for us as a company, building off what was a banner year in 2021. As we continue to see tremendous opportunities in the marketplace, we look forward to collaborating with RXR and its visionary leadership team to accelerate our growth.”
Building on the companies’ strong 25-year track record, RXR-Hudson encapsulates RXR’s deep experience in operating, developing, and constructing complex real estate projects, while adding a unique value element to Hudson’s current lending platform. Over the next several years, RXR-Hudson anticipates lending more than $2 billion in sectors experiencing strong investor demand and demographic tailwinds, such as housing, industrial, and healthcare-related industries.
