Commercial Financing

Commercial debt structured against the deal, not the product menu.

Marathon advises on and places debt for acquisitions, refinances, bridge executions, construction projects, and transitional business plans across income-producing commercial real estate — framed around the sponsor, the collateral, and the business plan.

Transaction Types

Capital structured against the business plan.

Each request begins with the actual deal — sponsorship, collateral, timeline, and intended exit — and is structured to fit the execution rather than forced into a generic financing template.

Asset Focus

Income-producing and transitional assets, coast to coast.

Executions across every major commercial asset class, sized from $50K to $50M. Deal-specific structuring, not a fixed lending menu.

Multifamily

Mixed-use

Office

Retail

Industrial

Hospitality

Land

Self-storage

Construction of a mid-rise mixed-use asset

Ground-up & Construction

Construction capital that respects the schedule.

Marathon structures construction executions for qualified sponsors with a clear plan, defined draw mechanics, and a pathway to permanent takeout — placed with the right construction lending channel and managed directly through funding.

Rate ranges are indicative market guidance as of July 2026 and are not a commitment to lend. Final pricing depends on asset type, leverage, DSCR, sponsor experience, occupancy, and lender guidelines.

Challenge

Sponsor was under contract with a tight 30-day close and a lender that pulled terms mid-diligence.

Challenge

Existing loan was maturing on an asset mid-lease-up; conventional refinance was not yet available.

Solution

Structured an 18-month bridge with an integrated rehab reserve and a defined path to a permanent DSCR takeout.

Outcome

Refinanced 14 months later into a 30-year fixed at a lower coupon post-stabilization.

Rate ranges are indicative market guidance as of July 2026 and are not a commitment to lend. Final pricing depends on asset type, leverage, DSCR, sponsor experience, occupancy, and lender guidelines.

Execution Standard

A capital-markets mindset on every file.

Marathon evaluates lender fit, structures for the business plan, communicates terms early, and manages diligence to a defined close. The result is a financing process designed to reduce confusion, preserve momentum, and improve certainty where timing matters.
