PERE European Credit Roundtable: The Opportunity in Real Estate Debt
“Certainty of execution in short term lending is everything. It’s not about price. That’s what allows us to select the best possible transactions at modest loan to values.”
Mark Posniak, Managing Director, Bridge Lending at Arrow Global, joined senior industry leaders for PEI PERE Credit’s European debt roundtable to discuss the opportunities shaping European real estate lending.
The discussion explores a market with substantial liquidity and an expanding range of financing solutions, where specialist lenders can differentiate through deep asset and borrower expertise, disciplined underwriting and certainty of execution.
Mark shares his perspective on where Arrow is seeing opportunity, why asset quality matters more than broad sector calls and how the evolving relationship between banks and private credit is creating new possibilities for borrowers and lenders.
