Commercial real estate debt & advisory
Strategic capital for commercial real estate.
Reliable, tailored financing built around your investment goals. We package the deal, take it to the lenders that actually fit, negotiate the terms and manage it through closing — one senior team, start to finish, nationwide.
Who we serve
Three kinds of client, one standard of service
Family offices
Discretion, fees disclosed up front and one senior point of contact who understands both the real estate and the wider portfolio it sits in.
Institutional firms
Funds, REITs and operating companies that need a competitive lender process and institutional-quality execution on every asset.
What we finance
Every major asset class, every lender channel
One request, run across the whole market — so the structure follows your business plan instead of a single lender's appetite.

The team
Senior people on every transaction
Joseph Landsberg
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Joseph founded JL Commercial Real Estate in 2015 after more than a decade in senior commercial real estate finance, and leads every client engagement personally — from the initial structuring conversation through lender negotiation and closing.
Before founding the firm he held senior debt and structured finance roles at national and regional platforms, including Vice President of Debt & Structured Finance at CBRE, Vice President at Meridian Capital, Senior Director at Franklin Street, and Managing Director at TKG Commercial and BDIM. That background gives JL clients access to the same lender relationships and underwriting discipline used on institutional transactions, on deals of every size.
Originally from London, Joseph holds a B.A. in Business Management from Middlesex University London and is a licensed mortgage broker.

Aharon Benzaquen
Director of Operations
Aharon oversees transaction management across the firm — coordinating underwriting, lender due diligence, third-party reports and closing logistics so that every deal moves on schedule and nothing stalls between application and funding.
He joined JL Commercial from TKG, where he served as Vice President of Capital Markets, and brings a process-driven approach to keeping lenders, attorneys and clients aligned through the whole transaction.
Aharon holds a B.S. in Business, is pursuing an MBA at the University of Florida, and is a licensed real estate sales associate.
