EOS Investors has held a first close of approximately $150 million for its inaugural hotel credit strategy, EOS Credit Partners, positioning the firm to originate senior whole loans, mezzanine financing and other structured debt solutions across the hospitality sector.  

EOS Credit Partners is led by Christopher Jordan, who joined the firm after more than 30 years at Wells Fargo, where he most recently served as EVP and Group Head of Hospitality Finance and Specialty Real Estate Finance and built the bank’s sector-focused hospitality finance unit into one of the largest lodging and leisure balance sheet platforms in the U.S.  

“EOS Credit Partners aspires to be a highly knowledgeable, relationship-oriented lender rather than a transactional capital source, capitalizing on established relationships across the lodging industry landscape and offering a partnership-driven approach,” Jordan said. 

The firm owns a diversified hotel equity portfolio and operates nearly 60 hotels through EOS Hospitality, generating roughly $800 million in gross annual property-level revenue.  

“We saw a great opportunity in the hotel-lending market for the last couple of years, and we thought that we were well positioned to pursue it. But it was the partnership with Christopher Jordan that really allowed us to do it,” said EOS founder Jonathan Wang.  

Beyond hospitality, EOS launched a residential investment platform in 2023 led by Nicole Sermier, which invests across multiple housing subsectors and capital stack positions and has raised about $251 million in investor commitments alongside $200 million of co‑investment capital.
