LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Stockdale Capital Partners today announced the launch of a real estate credit platform and the appointment of Alec Maki as Senior Vice President of Credit Investments, expanding the vertically integrated real estate investment firm's strategy beyond equity investments.

The new platform will focus on providing flexible capital solutions nationwide, including senior bridge loans, mezzanine loans, note purchases and special situation investments across a broad range of commercial real estate asset classes. Stockdale has a short-term goal of deploying roughly $300 million over the next 12 months.

Maki, who will be based in the firm's New York office, joins Stockdale from Fortress Investment Group, where he spent more than seven years on the firm's real estate debt originations team. During his tenure, he participated in more than $4 billion of transaction volume, underwriting and executing financings across multifamily, office, retail, hospitality, industrial, land and condominium assets throughout the United States.

Stockdale will initially target loan opportunities ranging from $15 million to $75 million where fewer capital providers are active and virtually none with an operating platform to support such activities, according to Maki. The strategy will remain flexible across geographies and property types, including office, life science and hospitality assets, where market liquidity has remained limited.

"By leveraging the firm's vertically-integrated operational expertise across asset classes, we will be able underwrite transactions more efficiently, better assess risks with greater conviction, and structure flexible capital solutions for borrowers facing complex situations," said Maki.

Maki initially will work alongside Chase Jensen, Stockdale's Managing Director of Acquisitions. The two previously worked together at Fortress, where they originated credit, equity and preferred equity investments across a broad range of asset classes.  Further hires will be announced to broaden out the team's capabilities and reach.
