The REIT plans to restart loan originations in late 2026 or early 2027 after securing additional capital.
Claros Mortgage Trust expects to add $140M in liquidity as it prepares to resume originating loans on transitional real estate. The move follows a challenging period of portfolio turnover and watch-list resolutions, according to management commentary during its Q2 2026 earnings call.
The company previously halted originations to focus on stabilizing its existing portfolio. Analysts had anticipated a gradual return to lending, though timelines varied. Comparable REITs in the sector have faced similar delays amid tighter credit conditions.
No immediate market reaction was disclosed in the call summary.
