Mortimer Street Capital has appointed Justin Trowse as its new managing director of debt advisory.
The London-based advisory business focuses on structured and complex real estate transactions and Trowse brings to it more than 15 years of industry experience and a reputation for delivering results in the bridging, development, and commercial finance sectors.
He joins from Allica Bank, where he played a central role in the integration of Tuscan Capital and the launch of the bank’s bridging finance proposition, marking Allica’s entry into the short-term lending space. Prior to that, he held senior roles at LendInvest, including director of bridging finance and later director of structured finance, where he was instrumental in scaling the company’s bridging offering.
Trowse’s appointment comes as Mortimer Street Capital, which operates as a specialist arm of Visionary Finance, seeks to grow its origination capabilities and take on more intricate funding mandates. The firm was created in response to increasing demand from clients for support with larger and more complex debt arrangements — requirements that often exceed the scope of traditional mortgage brokerages.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Mortimer Street Capital at such an exciting time in its growth,” Trowse said. “The market is evolving rapidly, and there’s a clear need for a more thoughtful, strategic approach to real estate funding — one that understands the asset, the capital and client’s funding needs.”
He added: “There’s a real opportunity to bring something different to the table, particularly as we expand into more complex debt and structured transactions. I’m looking forward to working with our clients and partners to deliver intelligent, tailored funding solutions that genuinely add value.”
Hiten Ganatra, managing director at Mortimer Street Capital, welcomed the appointment, describing it as a “major milestone” for the business.
“Justin’s track record speaks for itself — he’s respected across the industry for his depth of knowledge, commercial acumen, and ability to get complex deals done,” he said. “As the business continues to grow, Justin’s expertise will be instrumental in helping us scale and service a broader range of clients across the specialist real estate lending landscape.”
