Its real estate debt originations business has been growing steadily on the back of its access to world-class sponsors. It doled out $2 billion in fresh debt in 2018, and followed that up with more than $3 billion in 2019, behind strong deals coast to coast as they duked it out in what was a hyper-competitive landscape.
