Northwind Group

Overview

Founded in 2008, Northwind Group is a Manhattan-based real estate private equity firm and debt fund manager investing across debt and equity through discretionary, closed-ended debt funds, co-investments, and SMAs. Two main credit strategies: Real Estate Credit (first-position bridge financing, primarily residential/transitional assets) and Healthcare Credit (bridge-to-HUD and acquisition financing for senior living/skilled nursing portfolios). Ran Eliasaf founded and leads the firm.

Its recorded Brooklyn lending sits in Greenpoint and Downtown Brooklyn, in both cases through property-named vehicles rather than the firm's own name — the reason three separate ACRIS party names resolve to this one profile.

Known Entity Names on ACRIS Records

• NW 150 Green Street Lender LLC — The mortgage lender on the 150 Green Street (Greenpoint) ACRIS MTGE document. ACRIS party records give this entity's address as "C/O Northwind Group, New York, NY" -- an address match on the primary document, not an inference from the naming pattern.
• NDF III Lender A1 LLC — The actual lending party on the 141 Willoughby Street ACRIS financing documents (M&CON, MTGE, AL&R, and as grantee on the ASST). The same ACRIS address -- "C/O Northwind Group, New York, NY" -- appears on all four grouped documents for this financing. The name is transcribed as "NDF III LENDER AI LLC" on some of them; the address and role are identical.
