THE 3 CAPITAL STORY

We provide bespoke lending solutions that drive growth in diverse property sectors

3 Capital is an Australian commercial real estate private debt provider and investment manager, founded by Robert Lederer, Mark Schwarz, and Ari Bergman.

Incubated within Lederer Group, one of Australia’s largest family offices with diverse commercial real estate interests, 3 Capital emerged to enable wholesale and sophisticated investors to co-invest alongside us.

The Lederer family invests materially across our deal portfolio, ensuring our financial interests remain aligned with yours. We provide private investors with access to the growing commercial real estate debt markets, offering attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Our investment strategy prioritises exclusive deals with reliable borrowers backed by strong balance sheets and proven track records. We take only first-mortgage security on all our transactions, focusing on properties in prime locations along Australia’s eastern seaboard.
