Bridging lender, KSEYE, has announced its move into the US market with the launch of KSEYE US.

The launch has been made possible following the financial commitment of two US-based family offices and the hiring of Wayne Potters as managing director and head of US operations. The family offices have each allocated $50 million to seed the operation and fund new loans.

With 12 years of experience, KSEYE has grown from a two-man operation to a team of just under 40 and lending more than £700m in the process.

Nikes Khagram, (pictured), director at KSEYE, said: “This is a historic moment for KSEYE and the US commercial real estate industry.

“We are thrilled to bring our innovative and customer-centric approach to the US market, and with the combination of our US-based investors, Wayne’s experience, and our bespoke software offering, we have the resources and expertise needed to fill a void in the US CRE lending market.”
