Basis Investment Group Announces New Partnership with Lafayette Square

Basis Investment Group, a national commercial real estate debt and equity investment platform, announced a new origination partnership with Lafayette Square, a national investment platform seeking to create investment opportunities in underserved markets.

“Supporting diverse developers with the goal of advancing low-to-moderate income communities and improving the socioeconomic mobility of residents is the lasting difference Lafayette Square seeks to make,” said Onay Payne, Managing Director of Real Estate at Lafayette Square.

“We are proud to partner with Lafayette Square to expand opportunities in overlooked and underserved markets,” said Tammy K. Jones, CEO and Founder of Basis. “This marks the third such partnership in our ongoing initiative to deploy capital and credit through diverse led and owned capital providers across the U.S.”

Basis has the unique status of being one of the only diversified CRE investment platforms in the country to be founded and majority owned by an African American woman.
