**D2 Residential and Natixis CIB Launch Alternative Multifamily Financing Platform**
D2 Residential and Natixis Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) have announced the launch of a new financing platform tailored for multifamily apartments and other commercial residential properties. The initiative aims to provide an alternative to traditional agency and CMBS conduit financing by offering increased structural flexibility, a more streamlined execution process, and a customized approach to meet borrower needs.
As part of the collaboration, D2 Residential and Natixis CIB will jointly originate and securitize loans under this new program. D2 Residential will serve as the first loss holder in these transactions, underscoring their commitment to the platform’s success.
David Brickman, President of D2 Residential, emphasized the market potential for such a differentiated financing solution. “As the multifamily market continues to evolve and capital markets gain a deeper appreciation for the intrinsic strengths of multifamily as an asset class, we believe there is a unique opportunity to introduce a differentiated offering,” said Brickman. “This program is specifically designed for top-tier institutional and middle-market multifamily operators and sponsors who are unable to fully meet their financing objectives through existing institutional lenders or the agencies.”
The platform marks a strategic move to fill a critical gap in the multifamily financing space, particularly for sponsors seeking more tailored solutions than current offerings in the market.
