NREF is a commercial mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) that is primarily focused on investments in real estate sectors where its senior management team has operating expertise, including in the multifamily, single-family rental, self-storage, and life sciences sectors, predominantly in the top 50 metropolitan statistical areas.
