With its hands on, principal level steering of both originations and workouts, R3 Funding has in a short time distinguished itself by providing customers in secondary and tertiary U.S. markets access to Wall Street as well as an array of national lenders. In addition to CMBS lenders, R3 works with the GSEs and other lenders.

"Our focus and our sweet spot continue to be in using relationships we've built over decades in the business to provide Main Street with access to Wall Street and beyond," said Mr. Potter. "These transactions certainly demonstrate that commitment. Those same relationships also give us the ability to offer significant resources for workout situations."

The company's command of these markets and the breadth of the financing options it provides is evidenced in the four most recent originations.

• In Rochester, New York, R3 arranged a $20.3 million floating rate CMBS loan for a 155-key full service hotel.
• A $5.8 million fixed rate CMBS loan was arranged for a 1960s apartment complex in Gates, New York.
