"In recent years, commercial real estate debt has gained prominence as an alternative fixed income asset class that offers investors strong, stable and consistent returns, and non-bank lending has emerged to become the preferred choice for property developers and brokers who seek fast, simple and tailored lending solutions. The industry is growing at a rapid pace, and expanding into Sydney was a natural progression for us," said chief executive David Payton.

"With a growing team in our new Sydney offices, we're now expanding our reach into newer markets, with further growth on the horizon. We look forward to bringing our values-led approach, premium service and extensive product offering to investors and borrowers in New South Wales this year."

Payton Capital provides wholesale debt to real estate developers and the origination of attractive risk-adjusted investment products for sophisticated, and wholesale investors, family offices and institutional investors.
