Debt Capital Markets

Credit Tenant Leases



The Credit Tenant Lease (CTL) Product Group at William Blair & Company provides private debt capital raising services for clients that own single-tenant commercial real estate. The CTL product allows our clients to fully leverage/monetize the lease rental stream related to a specific property. The CTL structure is typically favored over conventional real estate financing, as borrowers can access higher leverage. Since the formation of the CTL Product Group in 1997, the group has closed in excess of 450 transactions representing about $3 billion in volume.
