Sunrise Realty Trust, Inc.

Florida-based REIT that lends money against commercial real estate

What Sunrise Realty Trust does

Sunrise Realty Trust is a lender, not a landlord: it makes loans to property owners and developers in the U.S., and those loans are backed by commercial real estate. It gives borrowers and sponsors capital for their property business plans. Founded in 2023, it is based in West Palm Beach, Florida.

How Sunrise Realty Trust makes money

It earns interest income on the commercial real estate loans and related debt investments it makes or holds. Because it is taxed as a REIT, it does not pay corporate income tax on the part of its net income that it pays out to shareholders.
