**Urban Standard Capital Expands Partnership with GCM Grosvenor in $135M Joint Venture**
Urban Standard Capital, a real estate investment firm based in Lower Manhattan, has announced an expanded strategic partnership with GCM Grosvenor, a global provider of alternative asset management solutions. The collaboration is structured as a $135 million joint venture and is expected to enable Urban Standard to originate over $1 billion in loans.
This marks a continuation of the firms’ relationship, which began over two years ago. After a $50 million commitment in 2023, GCM Grosvenor is now deepening its investment through vehicles managed by the firm to support Urban Standard’s growing lending platform.
“We are excited to expand our relationship with GCM Grosvenor as one of our valued capital partners,” said Seth Weissman, founder and managing partner of Urban Standard Capital. “Middle-market real estate credit and structured equity can provide investors with a compelling opportunity to earn equity-like returns with a credit-level risk profile. It is a privilege to deploy capital in partnership with GCM Grosvenor and its investors.”
