Direct Lender for Cannabis Use Commercial Real Estate
Pelorus Equity Group, through its affiliated Pelorus Fund, specializes in cannabis-related high yield commercial real estate lending. Pelorus offers short-term, senior loans secured by stabilized and value-add cannabis-related commercial real estate. We focus on a few specific under-served areas of the cannabis space:
- New Construction
- Projects with build out, rehab, TI with a value-add component
- Acquisitions and refinances that have a short fuse
- Requests that require higher leverage (case by case)
- Landlord refinancing for bank loans that have been called due to a cannabis tenant
Pelorus Equity Group is very selective in who we work with and the projects we take on. For perspective, a few of our current clients are Acreage Holdings, Justice Grown, Tikun Olam, Accucanna, Canndescent, Growpacker Canada, Emerald Farms and La Kush.
It is important to note that Pelorus is an interim-purpose and solutions driven lender. If you are looking for a permanent financing solution, we are not the right fit.
