According to the company, volume on its platform rose 77 percent in the first 45 days of Q4 versus Q3. In addition, the total number of financings has increased 46.5 percent [COLUMN_BREAK]

over the same period, signaling an expected increase in year-end financing activity.

The increase appears to be driven by multifamily property financing, according to Capdominus' transaction metrics. Multifamily properties represent more than one-third of pending transactions, three times that of any other property type.

Additionally, more than half of the proposed financings are stabilized properties, with 40 percent split evenly between ground-up construction and value-add repositioning projects. Most proposed financings of development and repositioning projects are limited to the core markets, while more than 60 percent of the financings for properties outside of the core markets are either multifamily properties or fully-leased retail properties.

Since Capdominus' launch in July 2012, the company reports more than $5 billion in CRE debt and equity financings have been marketed on its platform, and more than 18,000 commercial mortgage lenders and real estate private equity funds are now represented on its network.
