Many of the most complex distressed situations we encounter involve companies and projects where real estate is the primary asset — or the primary problem. Overleveraged development projects, landlords facing cascading tenant defaults, hospitality and retail operators whose real estate obligations outrun their operating cash flows, and lenders holding collateral whose value depends on a credible recovery plan. TRA brings the same disciplined financial advisory approach we apply to corporate restructuring directly to these real estate-intensive situations.
Trinity River Advisors is not a real estate brokerage or a development firm. What we offer is something different: the financial restructuring and advisory expertise to address the creditor negotiations, capital structure complexity, litigation exposure, and stakeholder conflicts that arise when real estate assets are in distress. In many situations, those financial and legal challenges must be solved before a property can be repositioned, sold, or refinanced and that is where TRA's experience is most valuable.
Working with lenders, bondholders, and mezzanine capital providers to restructure obligations tied to real estate assets
Advising lenders and owners through Chapter 11, deed-in-lieu transactions, and court-supervised asset sales
Addressing mechanics liens, tax obligations, and assessment disputes that encumber distressed properties
Independent assessment of asset values, capital recovery scenarios, and hold-vs-sell decisions
Expert analysis in disputes involving defaulted notes, guarantees, and contested real property claims
Serving as Chief Restructuring Officer or Trustee in cases where real estate assets represent a significant portion of the estate
We are most effective when brought in early before creditor relationships deteriorate and before options narrow. Whether you are a lender assessing collateral exposure, an owner evaluating alternatives to default, or a court-appointed fiduciary seeking independent expertise, TRA can help you quickly understand where value lies and how to protect it.
Initial consultations are complimentary.
