Brait Capital

We're thrilled to announce a significant expansion of our portfolio. Just at the end of March, Brait Capital, in partnership with Saul Zenkevicius and Bruns Construction Enterprises, Inc., invested into Richland Mall, now The Ontario Center, in Ohio.

spans 427,461 SF, offering a substantial opportunity for redevelopment, especially given its low occupancy rate of 39.85%.

But that's not all – the center also benefits from a strong demographic base of over 81,800 residents within a 7-mile radius. Plus, its strategic location between Cleveland and Columbus gives it a solid advantage. The Ontario Center is perfectly positioned for growth and revitalization.

Exciting times lie ahead for The Ontario Center 🎉

"Rafik Moore and Brait Capital are a huge resource and an asset that are must-haves in the arsenal for any CRE investor.

They have the ability to fund unsecured or subordinate equity as well as debt and, in some cases, provide up to 100%+ financing on commercial deals, something I have never seen before. They understand creative deals.

Structured, very creative themselves, and overall they understand CRE very well, so they can provide a second “set of eyes” when underwriting your deals. We worked on several transactions together, and they helped us raise large amounts of equity on short notice. And both parties, the borrower and the lender, made millions of dollars as a result of this successful partnership and alliance."
