Principal capital for real assets and the platforms behind them.
Black Palm Capital is a private investment firm. We lend, invest, and partner with our own capital across real estate, data centers, energy, specialty finance, and technology, in commitments of $25 million and up.
One balance sheet, across the capital stack.
Because we invest our own capital, we take the position a transaction actually needs, whether that's the senior loan, the subordinate piece, preferred equity, or ownership alongside the operator.
We make our own credit decisions and stay with the investment through construction, stabilization, and exit.
-
Joint-venture equity
Common equity alongside developers and operators, with shared governance and aligned economics.
-
Preferred equity
Structured equity senior to the sponsor's common, for recapitalizations, buyouts, and gap capital.
-
Mezzanine and subordinate debt
Second-lien and mezzanine loans that complete the capital stack behind a senior lender.
-
Senior secured loans
First-lien construction, acquisition, bridge, and term financing secured by the underlying asset.
-
Wholesale and asset-based facilities
Revolving and warehouse lines for lenders, originators, and asset-intensive businesses.

The firm.
Black Palm Capital invests in the assets that drive economic growth: the buildings people live and work in, the data centers powering artificial intelligence, the energy that runs them, and the companies built on top.
We invest with our own capital and underwrite every transaction as owners, which lets us move with conviction and stay committed when projects need patience.
