Behind every transformative real estate project is a bold vision-but even the strongest vision can stall without the right capital at the right time. In today’s complex lending landscape, entrenched networks and shifting regulations can leave investors stranded, forced to navigate rising costs, uncertain timelines, and limited lender relationships. The result? Too many great projects never reach their potential.
Entrepreneur Hannah Hammond saw this gap firsthand. A driven investor turned capital advisor, she launched HB Capital to change the game, creating a platform dedicated to funding freedom for commercial real estate entrepreneurs and the communities they impact. Partnering with industry veteran Geoffrey Harris, Hammond built a firm that blends insider experience with cutting-edge technology to unlock better, faster, and more certain financing outcomes.
“We built HB Capital by investors, for investors-leveraging our firsthand knowledge to deliver the most trusted, competitive financing solutions on the market,” says Hammond, Founder & CEO.

Proof in Action-Saving a Deal, Preserving a Vision
One recent success illustrates HB Capital’s commitment to trust and execution. A fund manager with a multi-hundred-million-dollar U.S. portfolio faced a critical challenge: a 150,000 sq ft industrial property failed to lease on schedule, and after a year of failed financing attempts, the clock was running out.
The client turned to HB Capital. Within weeks, the firm sourced multiple competitive term sheets and secured a nearly $30 million loan, buying valuable time to finalize tenant negotiations and replenish interest reserves. The move didn’t just save a property-it preserved the manager’s broader investment strategy and success.
