Charlotte-Based Martin Landscaping Transitions to 100% Employee Ownership Through ESOP Transaction
Why this matters
Capital markets activity continues to be defined by the rotation from bank balance sheets to non-bank lenders. Private credit funds have raised record dry powder; banks have tightened CRE underwriting standards for the sixth consecutive quarter. The result is a market where well-sponsored deals clear, and marginal credit pays a meaningful spread to do so. Charlotte multifamily and industrial fundamentals remain durable, with continued institutional capital interest in stabilized portfolios. For LPs, the allocation conversation has shifted decisively toward real estate debt, with equity allocations being deployed more selectively into operator-led platforms.
