Investing in Distressed Debt Secured by Real Estate Assets
Consistent with its previous funds, Fund VIII will target a diversified portfolio of senior secured private real estate loans, focusing on two underserved market segments: distressed debt and small- to mid-balance loans. For nearly 15 years, Fairview has acquired and originated loans in these niche markets, capitalizing on pricing inefficiencies to achieve equity-like returns without asset-level leverage.
Fund VIII is launching amid favorable market conditions. “We are seeing robust activity in the loan sale market, and also for our unique forms of real estate financing,” said Nels Stemm, founding principal at Fairview. “Distress in the market is widening out from office to other property types, and permanent lenders have begun to tire of extending their loans and are looking to clean up their balance sheets.”
Against this backdrop, Fund VIII will invest opportunistically nationwide across a diverse array of collateral types. Fairview will actively manage these loans to resolution over the fund’s four-to-six-year target life.

FIF VIII Poised to Become Fairview’s Largest Capital Raise
With their commitments to Fund VIII, Fairview’s long-standing investment partners have shown strong enthusiasm and demonstrated confidence in Fairview’s ability to effectively invest this substantial capital pool effectively.
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued trust of our anchor investors,” said Carson Rasmussen, founding principal. “These key commitments from our legacy partners reaffirm their confidence in our team and strategy. With a disciplined investment approach and proven history of results, we look forward to continuing to deliver on what we do best.”
In recent years, Fairview has expanded its senior investment team, enhanced its servicing division, and intensively trained new investment analysts. Fund VIII represents a strategic milestone for the firm–one that will enable Fairview to leverage its expanded capacity and deep expertise to pursue exceptional risk-adjusted returns in the Fund VIII vintage.
