Churchill Real Estate’s Justin Ehrlich and Oaktree Capital’s Howard Marks
When Howard Marks’ Oaktree Capital set out to raise billions of dollars targeting troubled debt last spring, loan defaults seemed inevitable. Companies were teetering, people were hunkered inside and travel had come to a halt.
“The firewood had been stacked,” Oaktree wrote in its presentation to investors. And the coronavirus was the lighter. Billions of dollars were raised at a record rate eyeing distress opportunities.
Marks, whose memos are closely read by Warren Buffett, saw the flames of distress burn quickly. Within a few months, the Federal Reserve’s massive buying spree, combined with government stimulus, had squelched distress opportunities in real estate and elsewhere.

Downtown Capital Partners, an alternative lender based in White Plains, New York, fired off a note to All Year Management and its founder, Yoel Goldman, last month: Cough up tens of millions of dollars of unpaid debt on a Gowanus development site or risk losing the property.
The note from Downtown Capital threatening to take over the vacant site is one of several signs of All Year’s broader financial problems.
The Brooklyn-based developer is also facing foreclosure on half of its massive Denizen luxury rental project at the site of the former Rheingold Brewery in Bushwick and was delisted from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in early January.
