About the Company
Terra Firma is a publicly traded real estate
finance company that provides real estate financings secured by
investment properties and real estate developments in the United
States and Canada. The Company focuses on arranging and providing
financing with flexible terms to real estate developers and owners
who require shorter-term loans to bridge a transitional period of
one to five years where they require capital at various stages of
development or redevelopment of a property. These loans are
typically repaid with lower cost, longer-term debt obtained from
other Canadian financial institutions once the applicable
transitional period is over or the redevelopment is complete, or
from proceeds generated from the sale of the real estate
assets.
