Capital Markets for Real Estate Companies

We started CIEL to build a purpose-built investment bank for the middle market in real estate.

Real estate is the largest and oldest asset class in the world, but the middle market is broken. Wall Street only focuses on billion-dollar transactions, leaving sponsors in the middle market without coverage. Local brokers fill the gap with thin memos and mass outreach. Investors don’t trust the materials, sponsors lose control of the process, and deals stall.

We pair AI with institutional expertise to transform underwriting, targeting, and outreach into a disciplined process investors respect and sponsors can close on with conviction.

CIEL isn’t a listing site or a software add-on. It’s a new kind of investment bank, built for the scale where most sponsors operate. Our goal is simple: clarity where there was noise, speed where there were delays, and certainty where there was doubt.
