Cameron Stephens Launches Accelerated Lending Program to Support Commercial Real Estate Loans Up To $15 Million

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cameron Stephens Mortgage Capital Ltd. (“Cameron Stephens”) is pleased to announce the launch of its new Accelerated Lending Program, designed to offer borrowers fast, flexible financing solutions for commercial real estate (“CRE”) transactions up to $15 million.

Built to meet the needs of today’s market, the Accelerated Lending Program provides single advance inventory, term, bridge, and land loans, with a streamlined commitment process of under 15 days. The initiative targets borrowers who seek faster turnaround times and more flexible structuring outside of conventional lending channels.

All transactions are funded directly through Cameron Stephens' internal mortgage funds—no need for multiple lenders or external syndication. This structure eliminates layers of approval, simplifies deal execution, and significantly reduces time to close.

This new lending channel is powered by up to $500 million in discretionary capital from Cameron Stephens’ mortgage funds, including Cameron Stephens Mortgage Trust (CSMT), Bay Street High Yield Fund (BSHY), and Western Canada High Yield Fund (WCHY), providing a direct and streamlined path from capital to borrower.

“We’ve built this program to move at the speed our borrowers need—no red tape, no delays, just smart capital deployed with precision,” said Steve Cameron, President and COO of Cameron Stephens. “It’s another way we’re using our private capital platform to fill market gaps and support our clients through every stage of the real estate development cycle.”

“From a portfolio management perspective, this initiative enhances our ability to dynamically allocate capital across the Cameron Stephens funds,” added Katie Bonar, SVP, Investment Management. “It allows us to seize short-duration lending opportunities that generate attractive risk-adjusted returns while maintaining the discipline and diversification our investors expect. It’s smart capital, well-placed. Within the next six months we anticipate committing in excess of $100 million to this initiative.”

With the Accelerated Lending platform, Cameron Stephens continues to expand its comprehensive suite of commercial real estate lending solutions—combining institutional underwriting with entrepreneurial agility and a simplified, accelerated path to funding.
