Public and private REITs providing commercial real estate debt.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Real Estate Debt & Mortgage Finance (8.5.3), the segment that Commercial Mortgage REITs (mREIT) sits within — not Commercial Mortgage REITs (mREIT) on its own.
Real-estate credit (NAICS 522292) and mortgage banking overlap Financial Services (Mortgage Banking & Origination, where they are sized); commercial real-estate debt and debt funds span investment classifications, so this segment is cross-referenced and not separately sized here.
