INQUIRE ABOUT ACCESS
Lever Capital Partners operates as the embedded debt advisory function for commercial real estate operators who want institutional execution without building an in-house capital markets team.
We are independent advisors, not lenders. We work exclusively on behalf of sponsors across the full debt capital structure. We invest alongside our Client Exclusive partners in every transaction.
Our team has acted as direct lenders and borrowers. We understand each unique lending circumstance from both sides of the table.
Adam founded Lever Capital Partners in 2009 on a simple premise: sponsors deserve institutional-quality capital markets execution without building that team in-house. He has arranged billions in debt, mezzanine, and structured capital for developers and owners nationwide, building LCP's network of 900+ capital relationships from the ground up. Having worked both sides of the transaction table, Adam brings a lender's instinct to every deal his team structures. His path has always run between real estate and technology: he holds an undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems and a Master's in Technology Management, and that dual background led him to become a Venture Partner at RE Angels, an angel fund focused on early-stage real estate technology startups. He lives in Los Angeles.
Adam has spent his entire career in commercial real estate finance, going back to the early 2000s in mortgage brokerage, private lending, and distressed asset management. He specializes in ground-up development and value-add transactions, having structured and closed hundreds of millions of dollars in complex debt transactions spanning land, multifamily, retail, office, hospitality, and industrial properties. As Managing Director at Lever Capital Partners, a role he has held for more than a decade, he leads the firm's capital markets placement function, leveraging deep lender and capital relationships built over two decades to connect sponsors with the right financing solutions. Adam graduated from Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business and is a native of Lansing, Michigan now based in Phoenix.
