“We’ve known each other for a number of years and always shared a common view on how the debt advisory market can evolve. As the business continues to grow, Justin’s expertise will be instrumental in helping us scale and service a broader range of clients across the specialist real estate lending landscape. I’m excited about what we’ll achieve together.”
Trowse added: “I’m thrilled to be joining Mortimer Street Capital at such an exciting time in its growth. The market is evolving rapidly, and there’s a clear need for a more thoughtful, strategic approach to real estate funding – one that understands the asset, the capital and client’s funding needs.
“I’ve known Hiten for several years, and we share a vision for building a business that combines deep market knowledge with sharp execution. There’s a real opportunity to bring something different to the table, particularly as we expand into more complex debt and structured transactions.
“I’m looking forward to working with our clients and partners to deliver intelligent, tailored funding solutions that genuinely add value.”
