Derby Lane Partners Launches with $1.8B in Capital Commitments

Derby Lane Partners has launched as a newly formed alternative investment management firm founded by Adam Piekarski with up to $1.8 billion committed across the platform from its strategic anchor partners. New York City-based Derby Lane intends to provide flexible, creative capital solutions to the market across asset classes, with an initial focus on commercial real estate credit in North America.

Coming aboard as anchor partners are BTG Pactual, funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group, Koch Real Estate Investments, Liberty Mutual Investments, Silver Creek Capital Management and Stable. Piekarski most recently served as co-head of real estate credit at BDT & MSD Partners.

“Today’s market presents an attractive opportunity to invest in commercial real estate debt,” said Piekarski. “We have assembled a seasoned team, paired with flexible capital and a differentiated approach to the market, that positions our firm to play offense while others continue to play defense.”
