This recognition highlights what Constitution's investor base already knows: there's enormous appetite for a real estate private credit platform that operates transparently and invests alongside its clients. Since launching in 2018, Constitution has built a vertically integrated business that originates loans, invests in non-performing loans, and operates real estate assets, creating a differentiated advantage.

"Growth like this doesn't happen by accident," said Kyle O'Hehir, Co-Founder of Constitution Lending. "It happens because we obsess over investor returns and borrower outcomes in equal measure. We originated loans that performed. We built capital-efficient operations. We invested our own capital at scale. And we attracted investors who understood that real estate credit, when done with infrastructure and competence, is a generational opportunity."

The 2026 Inc. 5000 recognizes companies across sectors—from advanced manufacturing to financial services to healthcare—that are redefining growth in America. Constitution's inclusion reflects both the scale of its capital deployment and the momentum of its platform. Among the 5,000 companies honored, the cohort has collectively added over 627,000 jobs to the U.S. economy over three years.

For Constitution's investors and borrowers, the recognition is a milestone—not a destination. The firm continues to scale its origination capabilities, expand its real estate portfolio, and deepen its competitive moat in a market where expertise, capital, and operational excellence compound.
