Great Neck, NY Joel Gorjian has established Uber Capital Group, LLC a commercial real estate financial advisory and mortgage origination firm. Uber Capital is based in Great Neck on Long Island and operates nationally, with the main focus on the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest markets. Uber assists property investors in planning, negotiating, and sourcing debt and equity financing.

As part of its consulting services, Uber sources acquisition, permanent, and interim financing; construction financing; debt recapitalization; lender financing; and note financing for all types of commercial properties, including single-tenant retail, neighborhood shopping centers, regional malls, mixed-use, office, medical, multifamily residential, warehouse, and industrial facilities.

“Our experience in negotiating financing, re-financing, and acquisitions of our own commercial properties nationwide allows us to identify the most beneficial funding sources for other real estate investors and developers. We frequently work with individual investors and boutique ownership firms, who lack sufficient experience and national reach to obtain debt financing from varied sources,” said Gorjian. “There is a strong need, particularly in the secondary and tertiary markets, for a financial advisor with extensive national ownership and investment experience. We provide this level of industry know-how,” he added.

Uber’s first lending advisory projects showcase the advantage the firm offers due to its relationships with a network of financial institutions throughout the Midwest, especially in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan, where Gorjian owns numerous properties. Uber’s first deals, originated mainly through local and regional banks, included a total of over $7.8 million in permanent financing for three shopping centers in Ohio and Iowa. Uber also sourced a $380,000 bridge loan for a mixed-use property in Nassau County on Long Island.

Gorjian holds ownership interest in approximately 2 million s/f of commercial real estate across the United States and in the last 12 months has completed acquisitions valued in excess of $100 million. His investment strategy focuses on shopping centers and mixed-use properties. In addition to leading the newly established Uber Capital Group as president, Gorjian serves as vice president of acquisitions and dispositions at Namdar Realty Group and runs his own investment firm, Gorjian Acquisitions. He received his Bachelor’s in accounting from Queens College and grew up in a family of real estate investors.

Uber Capital Group is headquartered at 150 Great Neck Road in Great Neck, NY.

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
