- Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR-PC) is a nationwide real estate investment trust (REIT) and direct lender specializing in loan origination, servicing, and investment in structured finance assets for the multifamily, single-family rental (SFR), seniors housing, healthcare, and commercial real estate sectors. The company operates through two primary segments: Structured Business, which provides bridge loans, mezzanine loans, junior participating interests in first mortgages, preferred equity, real estate-related joint ventures, direct property acquisitions, real estate-related notes, and mortgage-related securities; and Agency Business, which originates, sells, and services multifamily finance products including Fannie Mae DUS, Freddie Mac Optigo, FHA/HUD Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP), and conduit/commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) programs. Its product platform further encompasses customized financing solutions such as BTR (build-to-rent) bridge loans with terms from 12 to 36 months, small balance loans from $1 million to over $10 million, and proprietary online processing via Arbor Loan Express (ALEX) for faster deal execution.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered at 333 Earle Ovington Boulevard, Suite 900, Uniondale, New York, Arbor Realty Trust manages a multibillion-dollar servicing portfolio and targets owners, developers, and investors in the U.S. multifamily and commercial real estate markets, with nationwide operations supported by decades of local market expertise. The company serves diverse customer types, including commercial real estate developers, affordable housing initiatives, and single-family rental portfolio operators, delivering one-stop financing from short-term bridge options to permanent agency take-outs.
In recent developments, Arbor Realty Trust completed a $1.05 billion commercial real estate mortgage loan securitization in August 2025, issuing $933 million in investment-grade notes with a 180-day replenishment period for additional loans; an $802 million build-to-rent loan securitization in May 2025; and co-funded a significant Fannie Mae SARM loan for Emerald Empire's acquisition of Pangea Properties' Chicago portfolio. These transactions underscore ongoing strategic expansions in securitization and SFR/build-to-rent financing amid market recalibrations, while the company released key 2025 research reports on small multifamily trends, top investment markets, and affordable housing opportunities. Arbor continues to reinforce its leadership as a Fannie Mae DUS lender, Freddie Mac Optigo Seller/Servicer, and FHA MAP lender, with no reported major acquisitions, funding rounds, or reorganizations in the past 1-2 years.
