Layla Capital is a Boca Raton-based direct lender specializing in small- to middle-market commercial real estate bridge loans ranging from $1 to $15 million across primary and secondary U.S. markets. Since our inception in 2017, Layla has remained steadfast in its core values of transparency, reliability, and consistency—prioritizing capital preservation and certainty of execution in every transaction. We offer creative, flexible financing solutions backed by disciplined underwriting, efficient due diligence, and hands-on asset management. Our lending platform targets high-quality collateral across key real estate asset classes including multifamily, mixed-use, retail, office, industrial, self-storage, single-family investment properties, development sites, and other commercial property types. In Q4 2023, we launched our inaugural private real estate credit vehicle, Layla Fund I, LP, successfully investing 100% of the fund’s capital by year-end 2024. Following this milestone, we launched Layla Fund II, LP, which held its initial close in May 2025 with nearly $100 million in capital commitments. Fund II is actively deploying capital and completed its final closing in November 2025. With a robust origination network of brokers and investors and a reputation for speed, certainty, and integrity, Layla Capital continues to fill the critical financing void left by traditional lenders—offering bespoke solutions and institutional-quality execution to borrowers nationwide.
