Executive Summary

PGIM’s real estate lending has evolved over the past decade from managing in-house life company capital to becoming a holistic non-bank lending platform.

In a recent conversation with Commercial Observer, Bryan McDonnell, PGIM’s Head of Real Estate Credit Strategies, discusses that growth alongside our broad range of real estate credit capabilities and how, even as we’ve added new capabilities, we’ve remained differentiated in how we work with borrowers. Our approach has evolved by staying true to who we are, with a focus on strong teams, empowered talent, and delivering solutions across the capital stack.
