Real estate vets Jonathan Roth, Toby Cobb and Justin Kennedy are joining forces to form a new commercial real estate lender called 3650 REIT.

The company’s products include bridge financing, loan servicing, asset management, opportunistic investments and long-term mortgages on stabilized properties, according to Bisnow.

Kennedy and Cobb co-founded the real estate investment trust’s development affiliate in 2013: Grass River Property, which is based in South Florida and owns 14 development and equity investments spanning more than 1.8 million square feet. The pair were co-CEOs of LNR Property before resigning and founding Grass River following Starwood Property’s 2013 takeover of LNR.
