Coldwell Banker Commercial Alliance, Part Of Sutherland Asset Management, Announces Direct Access To Bridge And Mezzanine Lending For Clients

NEW YORK, June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Coldwell Banker Commercial (CBC) Alliance, a national real estate services firm focused on small and midsize clients and subsidiary of Sutherland Asset Management, announced it will now provide access to bridge and mezzanine lending to its clients through partner Ready Capital Structured Finance (RCS), a division of direct portfolio lender ReadyCap Commercial, a sister company to CBC Alliance within the Sutherland REIT.  This new offering will provide CBC Alliance clients the ability to finance commercial real estate transactions through its entire life cycle.

CBC Alliance launched its own capital market division for the real estate investment community in 2014, offering creative finance solutions for most property types, including multifamily, office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use, through ReadyCap Commercial.  The newly formed RCS division will now provide much needed non-recourse, bridge and mezzanine CRE debt financing to CBC Alliance clients.

"Most brokerages remain focused on originations for their largest borrowers. CBC Alliance has long recognized that small to midsize companies are an underserved part of the market from both a brokerage as well as a lending standpoint. We are pleased to now offer access to bridge and mezzanine funding for our clients, an essential lending alternative for these sponsors," said Adam Petriella Executive Vice President and head of Capital Markets for CBC Alliance.  "Our comprehensive real estate expertise allows us to assess investment opportunities for borrowers and provide access to needed capital, with the speed and certainty of execution required."

RCS will originate, manage and finance non-recourse floating and fixed rate loans of up to five years on transitional, value-add and event-driven commercial and multifamily real estate opportunities. Loan amounts will be up to $25 million, larger on a case-by-case basis, to middle-market and institutional commercial real estate sponsors. RCS will offer short-term, interest-only loans with advances up to 80 percent, for cash flowing and non-cash flowing properties, with flexible prepayment schedules and customized structuring solutions to accommodate borrowers' needs.
