In this episode of Inside Commercial Property, Phil Tarrant and Scott O’Neill sit down with Dan Gallen, executive director and CIO of Pallas Capital, to discuss one of the biggest shifts in commercial investing: the rise of private credit.

Key topics covered:

• The commercial property funding landscape: Banks retreat versus private credit expansion.

• Risks investors must weigh before relying on non-bank lending.
• Real-world examples of deals made possible by private credit.
