ACRES Commercial Realty Corp. operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) primarily engaged in the creation, ownership, and oversight of debt investments related to commercial properties across the United States. Its investment portfolio encompasses a wide array of commercial real estate-linked assets, such as both variable and fixed-rate first mortgage loans, senior and junior positions in these mortgages, mezzanine debt, preferred equity stakes, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and direct equity or preferred equity investments in commercial real estate.
