Expertise

Crown NorthCorp has managed over 35,000 assets in the US (valued at more than $16 billion) and over 165,000 assets overseas (valued at more than $41 billion). Crown NorthCorp was the largest asset management contractor for the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) in the early 1990s, growing to over 200 employees, and overseeing more than 25,000 assets for the RTC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The establishment of RTC gave rise to the modern CMBS market and as a result of Crown NorthCorp’s asset management capabilities and sophisticated servicing systems developed while working with the RTC, Crown NorthCorp became one of the first rated servicers for CMBS in the US. The company also expanded to Europe in the 1990s and, under CEO Ronald Roark’s leadership, became the first servicer for RMBS and CMBS in Europe to be rated by all three major rating agencies. Crown NorthCorp partnered with leading real estate advisory firms, investment banks, and funds to invest in and manage real estate and asset-backed portfolios in Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Germany, and the UK.
