Jared Kushner’s firm is planning to place at least $1 billion into loans for other people’s projects over the next few years.

“We have very ambitious objectives for 2017 and would like to do at least $200 million per year with the expectations of placing roughly $1 billion over the next five years,” said Laurent Morali, president of Kushner Companies.

Kushner decided to make an effort to provide lending as part of the business a year ago. Morali explained: “We like the opportunity to deploy our capital in a different place in the capital stack.”

Kushner, who is busy advising father-in-law President-elect Donald Trump on cabinet choices, did not comment.

Kushner Cos., founded by Charles Kushner, and more recently led by son Jared, appointed Morali as president earlier this year.

Morali, 41, came to the US in 2001 and met the Kushners in 2007 while working for Crédit Lyonnais. He joined the Kushners in 2008 and, until he was named president in June, had been head of acquisitions and capital markets.

“As a lender, we will look at the sponsor and the borrower and if it’s the type of project we could have done as an owner in a great area, it gives us more optionality,” Morali said.

Last week, the Kushner platform, Kushner Credit Opportunity Fund, closed $35 million in financing with Toby Moskovits’ Heritage Equity Partners.

This will replace an acquisition mortgage and supply other funds for the continuing redevelopment of a 100,000-square-foot warehouse at Brooklyn’s 201-215 Moore St. into a tech-friendly Brooklyn Generator with new retail.

An additional $9.85 million mezzanine loan was supplied by Ron Friedman’s Hutton Capital Management and Midnight Capital, Moskovits said.

“By entering the lending business, private family-owned real estate companies are taking an important role — as banks are increasingly conservative and only focus on properties with a cash flow,” explained Moskovits. “These funds are important to help bring buildings like this one online.”

Leasing agent Ben Waller of ABS Partners said the asking rent of $48 per square foot includes a full tenant build-out. Twenty percent of the low-rise project has already been leased to two digital companies, Carto and Remezcla. “It’s magnificent space,” Morali noted.

Kushner began its lending platform last year, starting with a mortgage for the acquisition of a site for a 1,066-foot-high super-tall tower designed by SHoP and being planned by JDS Development Group and Chetrit Group.

Sources said the $115 million mortgage was made by Kushner together with Fortress Investment Group.

Building Department records show some permits were approved in July for the project, which still needs construction financing. It is slated for the triangular lot adjacent to, and will be integrated with, the landmarked Dime Savings Bank at 9 DeKalb Ave.

Meanwhile, Kushner Cos. and partners are redeveloping and leasing up several former Jehovah’s Witnesses buildings in Dumbo Heights, Brooklyn.

They also closed a $340 million purchase of an additional Jehovah’s Witnesses complex at 25-30 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn in August and will complete the $345 million purchase of a vacant site at 85 Jay St. in December, for a mixed-used project.

“It will look amazing and be a great fit for the neighborhood,” Morali said, declining to reveal other details — at least for the moment. Stay tuned
