Opulum Capital Launches to Provide Flexible Credit Solutions for Multifamily Properties 

Opulum Capital, founded by experienced commercial real estate credit professionals, has launched to deliver tailored capital solutions for transitional and value-add multifamily properties. The firm specializes in stretch senior loans, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, and participating preferred equity, targeting $250 million in originations for 2025. 

Miami-based Opulum’s integrated approach covers the full investment lifecycle—origination, underwriting, and active asset management—ensuring alignment and accountability. With offices in Miami, Charlotte, and Chicago, the firm manages capital from separate accounts for a curated group of investors, including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and investment managers, and is backed by an early network of private investors with plans to expand partnerships. 

“In today’s market, both investors and sponsors are seeking clarity, reliable execution, and aligned partnerships,” said Steve Brannan, CEO and Founding Partner of Opulum Capital. “We created Opulum to address these needs directly, combining rigorous underwriting and asset management with the agility to structure customized solutions.” 

Brannan, previously a Managing Director of Acquisitions at New York Mortgage Trust, leads the team alongside Matthew Eshaghoff, Partner and Head of Capital Formation, and Alexandra Kichayeva, Partner and COO, both formerly of Leste Group. Opulum aims to provide qualified investors with direct access to high-quality multifamily private credit opportunities.
