Northmarq expands offerings via Northmarq Edge, a proprietary in-house lending platform for CRE borrowers

MINNEAPOLIS (Aug. 5, 2026) — Northmarq has expanded its client financing solutions through Northmarq Edge, a proprietary in-house lending platform for multifamily and commercial real estate transactions between $5 million to more than $100 million. The platform gives borrowers access to exclusive financing programs complemented by local market expertise and Northmarq’s national capital markets platform.
Northmarq Edge supports acquisitions, refinancings and transitional business plans. By managing the process in-house — from sizing and screening through underwriting, closing and servicing — Northmarq provides clients with a single financing partner focused on speed and certainty.
“Success in today’s market requires more than finding capital,” said Barry Gersten, managing director and Northmarq Edge lead. “It requires the right structure, market insight and efficient execution. Northmarq Edge gives clients access to proprietary programs and dedicated advisors who stay engaged throughout the process.”
Northmarq Edge includes three core offerings:
- Stretch-Perm Program: Fixed-rate financing with competitive leverage for stabilized multifamily acquisitions and refinancings, offering certainty of execution and alignment with ownership goals.
- Senior Debt Program: Flexible fixed- and floating-rate structures for multifamily and commercial assets, designed to support a range of business plans and investment strategies.
- Bridge Program: Floating-rate financing for multifamily acquisitions, refinancings and transitional business plans, with a clear path to agency or other permanent financing.
Together, these programs expand Northmarq’s financing options while preserving the streamlined, end-to-end experience clients expect.
“With nationwide capital access and deep local expertise, Northmarq Edge helps clients execute with confidence across a wide range of transactions,” Gersten said.
