LADR

Ladder Capital Corp

A New York-based real estate investment trust that lends money to commercial property owners, buying senior first mortgages and other loans backed by offices, stores and warehouses, while also owning a portfolio of net-leased income-producing buildings. It was founded in 2008 during the financial crisis by a team of industry veterans including CEO Brian Harris. The name comes from the "capital stack"—the ladder-like hierarchy of financing that runs from the safest senior debt up to the riskiest equity—because the firm invests across every rung.
