LSL Capital Advisors structures and places capital across the full stack - senior debt, preferred equity, and common equity - for middle-market multifamily development across New England.
From structuring to placement, LSL works across the full capital stack - bringing institutional relationships and analytical rigor to middle-market deals that demand both.
Sourcing and structuring senior construction and permanent financing from bank lenders, debt funds, life companies, and CMBS platforms. We navigate lender relationships to achieve optimal proceeds and terms.
Placement of preferred equity capital to bridge gaps between senior debt and sponsor equity. We match developers with institutional and family office capital partners suited to the deal's risk profile.
Structuring and placement of common equity partnerships, including waterfall design, promote economics, and investor alignment. We facilitate productive long-term relationships between developers and equity partners.
Institutional-grade underwriting and financial model construction - development proformas, sensitivity analysis, debt sizing, and return attribution across the capital stack.
Polished offering materials that clearly communicate deal thesis, market context, capital structure, and projected returns to prospective debt and equity investors.
We concentrate our practice where we have deep knowledge and active relationships - middle-market multifamily development across New England. Headquartered in Boston, we work with developers and capital sources throughout the region - bringing market intelligence and relationship depth that generalist advisors cannot match.
We operate as a true advisor - not a broker chasing fees. Every engagement begins with understanding the deal and the developer's objectives before recommending a capital strategy.
We begin by building or reviewing the financial model - understanding the deal's economics, sensitivity to assumptions, and optimal capital structure before approaching any lender or investor.
We structure the capital stack to maximize developer economics while presenting a risk profile that institutional capital sources will underwrite. This includes sizing, sequencing, and waterfall design.
We approach a curated set of lenders and investors whose mandates align with the deal - not a broad blast. This preserves deal confidentiality and produces higher-quality term sheets.
We manage the process through term sheet negotiation, due diligence, and closing - coordinating between legal, lender, and sponsor teams to keep deals on track.
Engagements are led directly by the principal - the same person who underwrites the deal is the one negotiating your term sheet.
Lorenzo founded LSL Capital Advisors to bring institutional-grade underwriting and capital markets execution to middle-market multifamily developers.
He started his career while earning a bachelor’s degree in corporate finance at Bentley University, working with three multifamily developers and two brokerages and serving as President of Bentley’s Real Estate Group. Those same years were spent building expertise in financial modeling - completing multiple real estate finance programs, including coursework at the Wharton School and Cornell University, and building dozens of models across ground-up multifamily, retail, mixed-use, condo, and office.
His proprietary development model has since been used to underwrite and transact on hundreds of millions of dollars of development projects. Prior to founding LSL, he worked in investment sales at EVO Real Estate Group, where he and his partner facilitated over $25 million in transactions in their first year.
Based in Boston, Lorenzo works with developers and capital sources across New England on senior debt, preferred equity, and JV equity placements.
Whether you're a developer structuring a new project or a capital source seeking multifamily exposure, we'd welcome the conversation.
