Basis offers a wide range of investment offerings.

Basis is a one-stop shop: if you need it, we're likely to have something to fit your needs. We offer fixed and floating rate senior mortgages (including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae multifamily investment offerings) secured by all types of stabilized commercial real estate and multifamily properties; bridge loans for non-stabilized properties, mezzanine financing and structured/preferred equity investments (including, but certainly not limited to, development deals). We also buy CMBS and Agency B Pieces along with making common equity investments in U.S. properties.
