Park Avenue Funding, LLC (PAF) is a real estate lending company that employs creative approaches to the financing of complex real estate transactions. Founded in fall 2004, PAF is an affiliate of The Lightstone Group, a national real estate investment company based in New Jersey.

PAF's management team possesses long-term experience in both the real estate and financial sectors. This has allowed the company to develop a reputation for being able to rapidly commit to and close complex transactions. Our understanding of the factors which comprise the value and risk of real property, combined with the ability to structure a loan that suits the needs of all parties, sets PAF apart.

Another aspect that defines PAF is the range of its programs available for properties nationwide. Property types considered include multi-family, office, industrial, retail, self-storage, parking and, on occasion, land. We will consider leasehold and leased fee positions, owner-occupied properties and small to medium-sized construction. Loan sizes range from $200,000 to $30 million and can include first or second mortgages, mezzanine loans and collateral pledge of mortgages.

Our greatest asset is our relationships with brokers and borrowers. We pride ourselves on a reputation of honesty and loyalty to brokers both large and small. Borrowers, likewise, return to PAF time and again for the open lines of communication and positive experiences they enjoy.
