The History of Cambridge Realty Capital
Jeffrey A. Davis founded Cambridge Realty Capital in 1983, after becoming the youngest Senior Vice President at Baird & Warner, Inc., a landmark Chicago real estate firm. During the 1980's, Cambridge provided financing for all types of commercial real estate.In 1985, Andrew L. Erkes joined Cambridge from Percy Wilson Mortgage and Finance Group, bringing his expertise in HUD-insured multifamily and healthcare transactions. Cambridge Realty Capital Ltd. of Illinois was formed to focus on the origination, processing, underwriting and servicing of these government-insured loans.
Even as the real estate industry slumped during the 1990s, the demand for senior housing and healthcare properties increased, and the decision was made to turn Cambridge’s focus primarily toward these markets. By specializing in both conventional and HUD-insured financing, Cambridge has emerged as one of the nation’s preeminent debt and equity financing firms dedicated to senior housing and healthcare properties — a growing and dynamic combination of the commercial real estate and healthcare industries.
